Gene has been sick today. Emily spent the night with him last night; she said that he was interested in a television show that she'd found. After the television, he was a bit restless but settled down later and had a restful night.
This morning when she left to come home his temperature was 100.4. This afternoon it was down a bit, and this evening it was close to his normal temperature, at 97.9. His pressure is up to about 24 and his oxygen is up as well, so that he doesn't struggle with his breathing while he is still so sick.
Emily went to Kindred planning to spend the night tonight. When she got there she knew most of the staff that would be on duty with Gene tonight and felt comfortable coming back home for the evening. She'll probably call the nurse right before she goes to sleep. Last night when she spent the night she got a crick in her back, so it's probably a good decision that she planned to spend the night in her own bed.
Dr. Deversa came by this evening while Emily was visiting Gene and she felt good about their interaction. She told him again that she wanted them to do everything they can to get Gene off the ventilator. He assured her that they would work very hard.
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene's respiration to improve, for his body to grow stronger, and for him to be able to conquer his infection. Pray for Emily to stay strong.
