So far, we have gotten our wish. Kristin, Dad's nurse on this shift in the ICU, reported that Dad had an uneventful night and was still stable. The FiO2 level on the ventilator is still set to 85% and his blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation look good (her words). The doctors have another round of dialysis planned for today and I'm certain they will be trying to remove more excess fluids from his body, much as they did yesterday. Deflating the Michelin Man is no mean feat.

Today is my sister Johanna's Birthday. The best gift our Dad can give her right now is to make progress toward his recovery. Please wish Jay a Happy 25th! (wink, wink)
