Gene had a pretty good day today. Emily was with him this morning and again this evening. She makes sure that she goes in the evening at shift change time to give positive reinforcement to the day shift people and to let the evening shift be aware of her presence and to advocate for Dad's needs as she has assessed them during her time with him during the day. Tonight she was very pleased with the staff that would be caring for him during the night. She has a phone number that rings directly with the nurse that has him and they always tell her that she can call any time if she has any questions or just needs to check on Gene.
Tonight the respiratory nurse told Emily that they would be trying again when Gene was a bit stronger to wean him from the vent. He is still loosing oxygen saturation when he's turned on his side. Today, he was on pressure 10 and supplemental support 50.
Tomorrow morning, Dr Brice will do a small debriding procedure. Emily has a doctor's appointment very early tomorrow.
Prayer Requests
Pray that Gene has an easy debriding procedure tomorrow and the Emily's doctor's appointment goes well. Pray that Gene's respiration continues to grow stronger. Remember to pray for Pat's sister Debbie.
