It's a Band New Day.

Last night was MUCH better. Stefann's dad, Wayne, came from Florida. He will be back today to spend the day with Stefann and I'm going to go find something else to do for a while - eat, read, relax...

Stefann asked for a breathing treatment just before bed and I believe that helped a LOT. It is like he all of a sudden has REALLY bad asthma. He slept most of the night and took the oxygen off at least twice without even knowing it.

So far this morning he has already had another breathing treatment, saw Dr. Isenberg (pulmonary doc), had a chest X-ray, ate breakfast, had his oxygen turned down to 2L, and is off IV fluids.

Goals for discharge:
1. SHOWER, the boy NEEDS a shower - a shave would do him good too.
2. Walk up three steps - prove he can get into our house.
3. Breathe without added oxygen, and keep his O2 saturation in the 90% range.

Right now he is sitting up in a chair, playing the PSP, and drinking a Mountain Dew.

Thank you all for your prayers. We appreciate them. (The food that has been sent to my house is wonderful too. Now, if I could just get my husband to bring some of it to me down here...) That really is the least of my problems. There are places around here to get food.
