Dad has been struggling all day. His oxygen needs increased steadily throughout the day. His pain seems to get the best of him at times if we aren't watching his pain meds. They decided to move him back to the ICU where they can watch him more carefully. He is on 70% oxygen with the BiPap (20/5 pressure) and is maintaining his sats in the mid-90's.
They can't seem to get his lung clear. He is still on 3 antibiotics but we don't have any news from the culture of the sputum. He is getting weary of the BiPap and the pain. They have a couple options for helping him get his oxygen more easily while we wait for the antibiotics to work but they won't make any changes until necessary.
We are still "circling" this mountain. Please pray for improvement and positive news. This has been a rough day for all of us, especially Dad. Thanks!
