Just visited with Neil. OK Folks, you all know my medical training is nil, so I have to correct my misunderstanding. Neil is in fact now on a pressure controlled ventilator. He is on 20 breaths a minute. What I misunderstood is the PEEP. First thing this morning was not at 30 but was at 10 PEEP. This monitor has numbers in a different place and I have no respiratory therapy experience. This morning the oxygen percentage was at 65%. Now I have corrected the first blog, I will give you the update now. First, Neil's color is great. DeAnn and I think he is the most handsome man we have seen in a long time. The nurse moved the PEEP up from 10 to 15 and the oxygen percentage up from 65 to 100%. His oxygen sat is at 98. The nurse said she hopes Neil would be able to manage this and thinks these numbers will come down during the day. His blood pressure is down some. We are so thankful for this day. Please continue to pray for Neil's lungs. Miracles continue for Sue Shelton. She is having a very good morning. Please continue to pray for her and all our other friends here.
