Michael's morning Chest X-Ray was better than yesterday, which was better than the day before. The doctor's are working to get Mike off the ventilator, so there have been numerous changes to the vent settings. As of now, the oxygen percent he receives is higher than yesterday, but the pressures are less and he is breathing some on his own. They will try to decrease the oxygen percent tonight as tolerated.
Michael is still heavily sedated, so the tube is more comfortable, but they will work on weaning that as he is ready to come off the vent.
There continue to be many issues, the biggest right now to get him off the vent. Our prayer requests are: for his lungs to heal and for Michael to get off the ventilator, for bleeding times to continue to stabilize, kidneys to function well and for any infections to resolve.
Thanks to everyone who has continued to pray in earnest for Michael and all of your concern, and thank you to the new members of our widening prayer team. Thank you Darby family (and friends and church members) in Houston (an amazing connection).
We continue to talk to Michael and tell him of your love and support. We know he hears us. Thank you so much.
