Morning of Day 20

Last evening was a definite mark of improvement. Chris was in the 90's and even touched 100 a few times. the late night was a bit difficult. the nurses had to move him a bit and changed out some stuff on his breathing tubes.he didn't like that. the nurse said it sounded a bit looser to her in his chest, a good thing. when i left this morning he was running an 88 oxy with no fever.
Connor had a rough start today. he is still not feeling well. it still seems to be a simple head cold, no fever still.
i slept pretty well in Chris's room last night. i was so glad to see him touch 100. now that i know he can get there, it is a few ounces off my shoulders. its still going to be a long road. i think his dad may be spending Halloween with us. Chris's stepmother Saunie finally got to fly in a couple days ago. its really great to have so much family around right now. Chris's brother Jon is here as long as he can, but he has a family and a job he will have to return to in Utah in mid October. Chris didn't get to see Jon before he was put on life support but I'm sure he knows his little brother is here for him.
this is day 20 in the ICU, and day 7 of life support. Chris has a wonderful medical team tending to him 24/7. I'm so grateful for them all. the med team has been awesome to everyone involved in any way with whats going on. THANK YOU MED STAFF.
I am going to spend more time with the kids this morning and i will go back in this afternoon.

Thanks for the continued support. well talk again soon
Amanda
