Day Nine

11:52
I just finished my visit at 11:00. WOW!! What an improvement!! Praise the Lord!! He turned towards me as I walked in and said "Hey babe, how are you?". His fever is down to 100.8 and he is down to 3 liters of oxygen by mouth. He is not breathing through his nose. Heart is great! Blood pressure is great! And breathing is good! They may move him later today to CCCU (I think that's right). Any way it is a step down from ICU. If they do move him, I may get to stay with him tonight. The procedure for the filters took place about 7:00 last night and they brought him back to his cubical about 9:00. We spent the next two hours getting updates and trying to get him situated. They tried to get another stomach tube down, but it was unsuccessful as of 11:00 after several attempts. They did get it in sometime during the night, but he pulled it out sometime after 5:30 this morning. As of now they are not planning to put it back in. I haven't been updated as to weather the blockage in his stomach has cleared or not. I hope to find out at 3:00 when I get to go back in there. ICU visiting hours are 9-11AM 3-5PM and 9-11PM. If they move him those hours may change.
Sorry I didn't update the blog much yesterday or make many phone calls. I was very stressed after that 3:00 visit. I pretty much fell apart. Thank you all for your prayers thus far! We love you all and I will continue to keep you updated.
