March 16 10:30 am
Our visit was delayed a bit as the nurse was changing the dressing on Neil's abdomen. Also, the nurse gave him a bath, shaved and brushed his teeth. Neil continues to tolerated this ventilator setting well as his oxygen sat is 94. His oxygen level is at 65% with the PEEP at 35. Neil has NO temperature and his blood pressure is within normal limits. We have some new numbers to share with you. On this bi-level ventilator Neil has been receiving 30 breaths a minute. The nurse said you and I take 12-14 breaths a minute. The doctor has called in an order to bring the breath rate down from 30 to 26. This sure will be a great step forward (a baby step, but a step in the right direction). We continue to be encouraged. Please pray for Neil's lungs. Also please remember the Andress family.
