Stan is still critical and his condition remains largely unchanged this afternoon. He does not have a fever and his blood pressure is normal. His FiO2 level was decreased to 70%, which he tolerated well. It was then decreased again to 50%, which caused his blood oxygen saturation level to decrease to the point where they staff restored his FiO2 back to 90% to help him stabilize again. He was given Lasix to stimulate his renal function and this seems to have worked somewhat well for the short term.

The past few days have been a roller coaster ride of emotional ups and downs and this may very well be the case for a while. Having our family and friends together is helping us hold on and cope with the rough ride. Fight, Channel Man, fight!
