bad night

last night was rough, Chris's dad stayed with him. his kidney function dropped down to 10%. kidneys were at 90% yesterday. his blood gases were a smidgen improved. his chest x-ray has a bit more gray instead of white. the nursed changed some tubes and got some fluid release, the dr was very pleased with this. the respiratory therapist worked on a few things and got some positive results. his oxy is currently at 89, Chris got as high as 96 yesterday,and his pulse is in the 120's.
last night the kids asked for their dad several times. i explained to them that only grown ups are allowed in the room right now and mommy has to go to the hospital daily to help take care of daddy so he can get better. today is day 19 in the ICU.
the kids and i slept at home last night in my bed, grandma saunie slept in the living room. i don't know what tonight's sleep situation will be. Connor has started a head cold and is now back of full time nebulizer treatments. he should be fine.
A big thanks to my sis Andrea for lending me her spare laptop.
there have been a lot of friends and family coming by lately, it has been great. everyone is welcome anytime. thank you all for your posts to the blog.

will post again soon
Amanda
