Ron seems to be better today. He has been able to cough up a lot of stuff for them to suction out of his lung. He actually has his eyes open a little, and was moving his foot. Bp was 95/54 when I came in, but after I sat and talked with him a while, it was up to 105/55, as if he sort of perked up. Heart rate is 81-82; peep is 15. He's still on 50% O2 input, and his O2 saturation is at 95%. Respirations are 33-35. His white count is 9.5, and hemoglobin is up to 8. They have started a new antibiotic, Cefepine, and stopped the Cleocin and Cipro.
Thanks, everyone for the prayers and good wishes!
Love,
EJ
