Gene was comfortable today and fairly alert. Emily was there in the morning, then went to her church meeting mid day then back to the hospital for a short visit, and then back again in the evening. Dr. Brice was there this morning to examine the pressure wound. He says there are two small places that will need some additional debriding. When they turned Gene all the way on his side to examine the wound and change the dressing he did fine, but afterwards, he desaturated. His pressure stayed on 10 today and his oxygen for a time was up to 50. When Emily expressed concern that Gene seems to take a long time to recover from the debriding procedures, Dr. Brice indicated that there should not be a connection between the two.
Emily seemed to enjoy her Church Women's Group today. She indicated that many people asked about how Gene was doing, but she also had an opportunity to just be in the group doing their normal activities.
Steve is planning to come up for a visit sometime tomorrow. It will be good for Gene to have an opportunity to see him for a bit. Emily noted that many of Gene's men visitors are able to bring out a level of interaction from him that he doesn't always exhibit with her. She is always very grateful for their visits.
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene's respiration to grow stronger and for both Emily and Gene to have peace and comfort.
