Gene is still very tired from the last debriding procedure. His temperature is a little elevated at 99, but his other vital signs are good. His pressure has been raised to 20 and his oxygen at 45 to help him breathe more comfortably while he is recovering from the debriding. He is having difficulty breathing whenever he is turned very much to either side.
The podiatrist came and worked on Gene's toenails, and Emily was not pleased with the effort, so she did it over. Joyce said that Gene's feet looked great when Emily finished and even some of the nurses commented about how good they looked. She also trimmed his fingernails, eyebrows, and sideburns and cleaned his ears. She is so attentive and tries to not only advocate for him in every way, but also to assure that he is as comfortable as possible.
Joyce went home this afternoon after a second visit with Gene and Steve and Pat have arrived late this evening to spend the night and tomorrow before going back to Atlanta. They are coming up on their 35th anniversary!
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene's body to have the strength for healing - his pressure wound, his respiration, and his ability to move. Pray for Emily and Gene to have peace and the resources to face the challenges ahead.
