March 20 6:25 pm

(Sorry, had a computer issue) Just visited Neil. The nurse said he had a good afternoon. He is a bit nauseated. The nurse thinks this is the medication or the TPN. With the trach and the ventilator, Neil cannot talk. He can form words and DeAnn is becoming very proficient in understanding him. This is a bit frustrating for Neil. Of course, we want to understand every word he says. We have let him know you all are loving him and praying for him. His heart rate is good. His blood pressure is a bit high, but he does not need medication for this yet. Reese is back with us tonight and we are so pleased.

Neil did not love the "regular" ventilator setting. He is back on the pressure controlled ventilator. The setting is 15 PEEP, 20 breaths a minute and 40% oxygen. His oxygen sat is 98. Yea!!!!! Please pray for Neil's lungs.

Sue's family had a good visit with her. Please pray for Sue's recovery.

Please remember Mary in your prayers as she receives her treatment. We all know it helps her to have Katey there with her.

I have not talked to Kim. We hope she was discharged from the hospital today. Please pray for her safe trip home and a speedy recovery.

The man shot 10 times was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Please pray for his recovery, his wife and sweet daughters.

The man shot at Igor's is being moved to a room tonight. Wow, he is a miracles.

We must say over and over how much we appreciate your love and support. Your prayers are working miracles here in the SICU. Bless you all

I am so pleased at the progress Neil has made. We are continuing to pray for him and his lungs. School will have me in Montgomery a week from tomorrow. I will stop by to see all of you. Please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do for you or bring to you while I am there.
