Just visited Neil. Neil is responding well to the ventilator setting of 10 PEEP, 16 breaths and 55% oxygen. This is a 5% reduction in the oxygen percentage. The oxygen sat is 97. Yea!!! He really is doing well since surgery. He has a "vac" which will continually keep the abdomen tight and will help close the wound. The nurse describes this as "extra luggage". Neil will have this until his abdomen closes. Neil is understanding the full extent of his injuries. He is most concerned about the length of time his recovery might take. My goodness, he is doing a great job. We are so proud of him.
Please pray for Neil's lungs. You all are the most wonderful folks in the world. We are honored you are running this marathon with Neil and us. We have heard from several of you that stopped your work tasks and said a prayer for Neil's surgery. That is so humbling and we cannot tell you how much we appreciate your concern.
Please know Kim is home and is recovering nicely. Yea!!!!
Katey is pleased with how well Mary is doing. They should hear from blood work tomorrow. Please pray for Mary's recovery.
Please continue to pray for Sue, Shannon, Brian and our other friends here with us. Please remember the Andress family with your love and support.

I read the blog daily and look forward to reading of Neil's progression. We have Neil on our prayer list at church and I will look forward to the day when I can announce, "We can remove Neil Grantham from our prayer list!"

Glad the surgery went well! Look forward to hearing more good news!

I was confident that things would go well. God has his hands on him and isn't going to let go. Several times during my day when I think of Neil and all of you I stop and say a prayer. Neil is amazing and so are all of you for lifting him up.
