It was a good weekend

Dave made enough healing progress over the weekend to be taken off of the paralytic medication and to have his oxygen levels lowered from 80% artificial to 60% artificial. A short attempt to take him to 50% resulted in his blood pressure going up and fever starting to set in, prompting a quick trip back to 60%.

The doctors and nurses are still very encouraging at his progress and believe that while the healing process is going to take a long time, he is going to pull through.

We are keeping them in our prayers and thank you for doing the same.

(as an aside note, Sorry for the delay in getting Monday's and Friday's updates, in that we've had a pretty busy week around our home)
