"Today has been interesting. Dr. Q said the xray showed some improvement even from yesterday. Rick wanted me to ask about a rating on a 1-10 scale. Doc said Jeff started at 0 and is now a 5. The identification of the specific bug he’s fighting with antibiotics to treat and the hyperinflation of the lungs is what he says is helping. Also today the staff got Jeff up to a cardiac chair for just over an hour. At first he really enjoyed it – signing “go, store, coke”. He all too soon learned that those were waiting but complied. After about 40-45 minutes he was tired & asking to go back to bed. By the time he got back to bed he was really tired & went to sleep. It took 5 people to move him because of all the stuff to clear but went extremely smoothly. His heart rate & blood pressure held really well. He is still on the vent of course.
Again it’s a slow process but I feel that Jeff is really starting to gain some ground. Thank you all for being such an important part of his success. Every single person makes a difference. I’ve said it before & will again “Jeffrey either brings out the best or the worst in people – they reveal who they are”. Obviously you all are a great group of people. We thank you all & love you all. We’ll stay in touch again soon. Love, Jeff & Family"
