Gene has been tired today. His respiration pressure has stayed at 10 today to help him be less stressed after his debriding procedure. He now has a special suction bandage on his pressure wound which will help in the healing process.

He had visits today from Alan and Pennie, Shelley and Daniel, Dr. Carver, and Ken, Sue, and Ann. Of course, Emily was there three different times today, as she is on many days. Gene continues to be an inspiration. He is working hard at the task of relearning to breathe on his own; he is patient and kind to his care givers and family.


Prayer requests
Please pray for Gene to continue to gain strength, for his respiration to continue to grow stronger, and for his pressure wound to heal. Pray for both Emily and Gene to have strength and courage.
