They had a rough time between 5-6pm last keeping his oxygen levels up, but his numbers look much better this morning.  They had him on 100% oxygen input in the late evening but they were able to lower that to 50% through the morning.  They have to lower it slowly and each time they do his blood pressure, heart rate, etc. fall off a little, then slowly stabilize.  

Right now he is on 50% oxygen input and has 95% saturation which is a huge improvement from yesterday.  His blood pressure is good, his temp is 98.7 and his heart rate is 104.  They also were able to turn down his sedative a bit but he is still on a paralytic to keep his O2 levels up.
