Yea!!!!!!! Neil had responded very well to the ventilator setting all day. The nurses moved Neil and got him looking all handsome. During this workout the bed had to be stopped for a while. Following this, Neil's oxygen sat dropped to 89 but then it recovered. His oxygen sat is at 94 right now, the oxygen percentage is at 70 and the PEEP has been moved down to 35. His gases looked a lot better than yesterday. His blood pressure is still varying. They hope to fix that by giving him fluid. My goodness, what a good job Neil has done. I am so proud of him. Today we showed the nurse the article in the Troy Messenger. She said they needed a picture of Neil in his ICU cubicle because they have never really seen him. Well, within the next few hours DeAnn had several pictures on the nurses board in Neil's room. This has been a grand day. The surest way for me to describe it to you is to tell you Neil's day nurse is smiling!!!! Thank you all so very much. Please keep praying for Neil's lungs.

We're glad to hear it's been a great day for Neil and y'all! We love you and continue to pray for Neil's lungs. Last night Evan came to me while I was on the computer and wanted to see the picture of "Deil and Ann". I showed him the Mardi Gras picture and he said, "I like Deil and Ann." I just thought that'd make you smile.
We love you all,
Mary, Ron, and Evan :)

DeAnn and family, ya'll have been so hopeful through this and that helps keep everyone else hopeful. Thank you for being so strong! I love you guys!!!
This is wonderful news! It seems like everytime I get on here the vent settings have been decreased and now the oxygen levels are being weaned down which is AWESOME because that means his lungs are getting a little stronger everyday! I continue to pray for Neil, his recovery, and for all of you that are by his side daily.
