December 28, 2011; It's Brian Again
Well here I am back sitting in the hospital while Marci, the
stronger of the two of us, heads home for some much needed R&R.
But I wanted to give you all a wonderful update. All your prayers
and well wishes during the last week and a half have been just
wonderful and appreciated. They are certainly doing the trick.
Around 12:30 today I arrived at the hospital and met up with Marci
in the cafeteria. She wanted to get back upstairs by quarter to one
because of his chest PT and such. Well to my surprise, I walk in to
see Ian sitting there in bed sans bipap mask. Also he had no oxygen
mask on either. The RT(respiratory therapist) stated she had
basically just gotten to the room and did his chest PT. All that
went fine and of course Ian didn't enjoy the feel of yet another
tube going down his nose and throat but he doesn't have a choice. So
anyway, here it is almost two and a half hours later at 320 and Ian
still is off all oxygen supplies. His saturation level has stayed
steady at 97-98 the entire time except for a couple of times when
he coughed, good coughs too, when the sats level dipped to 93-94
but went right back up again. He is also currently sitting in his
wheelchair playing his mobigo game and hasn't stopped since. I just
wanted to take these quick moments before his chest PT, cough
assist and such all start again around 330. So thanks again for all
the well wishes and prayers and they are making their way over to
Ian as we can see but this huge step forward. Keep you all
updated.
Prayers and strength to all of you and for Ian to come home
soon!--- Shara Freeman
