Hi All,
Today was a good day, she is now off the vent and her chest tube is out. We even got her to sit in a chair. She is running a bit of a fever but they are keeping an eye on that. If all goes well we will be out of ICU by Sunday.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and prayers

Hi All Again,
Well we had a little setback today. She was on 1 liter of O2 this morning but her saturation dropped into the 80’s, she is now at 3 liters and she is getting a CPAP treatment every 4 hours trying to get her lungs to open up some more. Also her platelets dropped to 63 so she got a unit of those today. When I left they were at 140. Their goal is to keep her above 100 while recovering. But the good news is that we got her to stand and sit in a chair for almost 2 hours. Hopefully she will have a good night; we might not make it out of ICU tomorrow. Kathy has been staying at the hospital this whole time and hasn’t had a chance to get much rest. The sooner Lesly gets out of ICU then I can get Kathy to come home for some rest and let me stay up with Lesly.
Keep her in your hearts and prayers
Thanks
Glen
Today
Hi All
Yesterday, and last night, were not great nights. Her breathing got worse so they upped her air to 8 liters and CPAP every 2 hours. They gave her a break for awhile Sun. morning and her temp went up to 104. They got that under control last night but her breathing got worse. Now she is on a BiPAP and I am heading in to the hospital. I will update you more as I know it.
Send her all you good healing thoughts and prayers
Thank
Glen
