The progress is slower, but Michael is moving forward to get off the ventilator. The oxygen was decreased a little this evening and they will continue to decrease both the oxygen percentage and pressure it is given with. He has been breathing a lot on his own. He is still heavily sedated, but he has been started on Physical Therapy which he has tolerated well. Also some food today--okay it is through a tube, but at last some nutrition to help his body heal.
Our prayer requests remain for Michael's lungs to heal and to be able to come off the ventilator soon, for the kidney function to improve, less requirements for blood and platelets (which has been better), and for all infections to resolve.
Thanks again for your support and prayers. We feel your love and concern. And we know Michael does too. Thank you!!
Keeping the prayer chain going!
