March 17 5:45 pm

Just visited Neil. My, my Neil has done such a good job today. The oxygen percentage is down to 65% where he started this morning when they changed him to this ventilator. This is what our medical friends would describe as Neil "responding well to this ventilator setting". Yea!!!! His blood pressure is within normal range right now. The nurse said that after DeAnn leaves Neil's blood pressure drops for about 30 minutes. So we are encouraging Neil to try and not let that happen because we certainly do not want visits restricted. (I am smiling.) Just lets us know Neil is aware of our visits, love and support. Please pray for Neil's lungs and all our friends. We cannot wait until tomorrow. Love to you all

Jules E. is visiting from New York and helped me log on. I think everything is OK now.

I always enjoy reading your posts and feel like lately they are praise reports!

Love,
Aunt Jane

P.S. Jules is blogging in a distance education class this semester and wants to know if I can subscribe to Neil's blog via an RSS feed?

It is simply amazing to follow Neil's progress. We love to read how God answers prayer -- and for that we continue to lift up each of you.
