Pop's condition is mostly the same this afternoon. His ventilator settings are unchanged, with the PEEP still set at 16 and the FiO2 level at 40%. Pop's heart rate is in the low 70s and his blood pressure is normal. His rash is coming back and he now has a new spot on his foot. The doctors suspect it may be a reaction to one of the other antibiotics they have given him and are considering stopping it altogether, since he may not seriously need it right now anyway. Pop underwent dialysis again this afternoon, but they were only able to remove 3.8 liters of excess fluid before the machine was whisked away because it was urgently needed for a crisis situation with another patient. Channel Man is still sailing in a thick fog bank and has not been awake much at all today. The dialysis treatment doesn't help things because it makes him so tired. Rest up Pop!
About Me
We are into our 59th year on the South Channel. About 35 years at our present location, where every thing that moves on the South Channel passes our doorstep. The cottage is a work in progress, hand built by us from scratch. Before building on a lot puchased from The Archers, now Craganmor Point, we leased an Archer cottage for about ten years. We spent our earlier years at the family cottage located at the western tip of Seven Mile Bay. We feel very fortunate that we can spend six months of the year living on the channel.

It sounds like your pop's stats are getting better and better, Lance. I'm sure you are all getting anxious for him to become more alert and to be able to communicate with him. Patience is tough after all this time and such a long roller coaster ride, I'm sure! Hang in there....your postings are fabulous and I can't wait till Stan is well enough to read them (and probably groan at some of them!)
Love and Prayers,
The Bowdens
