Gene seemed to have a good day today, and said that he had a good night last night. His pressure was on 10 today and his oxygen was on 30. This is a good start on lowering the pressure!
Emily found him alert this morning and spent a good amount of time with him. She didn't go in the middle of the day this time, because she had a dental appointment and needed to take care of that.
Today they did the test which will determine if his protein levels are high enough, but the results have not come back yet. Early evening, about 6:00 they also ran a scan of his neck. This is probably at the request of his surgeon - the results will probably determine if the collar can come off for good.
Lynn was able to visit with Gene for awhile this afternoon and show him a couple of apples from the apple tree he planted several years ago. He was delighted and asked for us to save him some. I suppose we'll dry some and when he's well enough to eat, have Emily make some fried apple pies.
Gene had asked Emily something about the house, so she brought pictures this evening for him to look at. He seemed to enjoy looking at the house and the family groupings. He has a particular weakness for the beautiful great grandchildren and just beamed when he saw their pictures.
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene and Emily to have peace. Pray that Gene continues to have good improvement in his respiration and his pressure wounds and that his body continues to be able to process and use the nutrients he needs for healing.
