Good morning update on my partner They flipped him back on his back. He handled that really well. His blood saturation levels for oxygen were at 95%. She said average in that altitude out there is 92%. So that's awesome news. His blood pressure and blood sugar numbers are all normal. She said he isnt showing any signs of pneumonia. The fluid that was so bad isnt that bad any more. And if things go well they will be cutting the vent back today and also start feeding him through a tube. God is working and healing him. Please keep praying. Love you all.

Wonderful! Now, how are YOU doing? Did you ever start feeling sick, or just asymptomatic positive?

I have never had a fever. Just some minor cold like symptoms. I am quaranteened back at home in east tennessee. Waiting patiently to go out. Get this. All rooms out there are $1000 per week. Very expensive. I'm a Wyndham Reward member. They cut my rate from $130 a night to $67. 6 nights for like $443.22 with tax. And a guaranteed 2nd week or longer at that rate. No one else would help me. Highly recommend anyone signing up for Wyndham Rewards. I'm not affiliated of course. Just a trucker looking for a break. And they came through.

Very glad to see this! It looks like some things are going y’all’s way. And it’s amazing how the seemingly-little things like having an affordable and comfortable place to sleep at night are so important.

Continuing to pray for both of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Got a good update on my partner. Nurse just told me he has not had pneumonia or a fungal infection this whole time. They have just been giving him drugs to prevent them. His doctor didnt feel a new x-ray of the chest was nessasary for the next 24 hours. All vitals are good. Handeling nutrition just fine. Will be flipping him back to his belly again at 8 tonight our time. He is really progressing so well. Continued prayers please.

Oh, that’s fantastic! I’m so glad that they were able to move him to Colorado Springs. And if you were part of making that happen (family and friends are CRUCIAL in healthcare), then good for you.

Still praying. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Got another exciting update on my partner. He is back on his back again. The vent was turned up for some reason to 80% last night. No reason they said. Maybe to prepare him for the flip back to his back. But it's at 50% now. And he finally after 6 days had 3 bowel movements. So all his major organs seem to have no big mishaps. I believe all this prayer is realing helping him. Thank You Vol Nation.

They did some stint procedure tonight to help get meds in easier and to where they wouldnt have to worry about infection as much. i dont get the medical terms of it but they said he handled the procedure well and even lowered his vent another 5%. So no big complaints i guess. Thanks for the prayers you all

Wow got some great news a little bit ago. They say he may not have to be put back in the prone position on his belly anymore. They are talking about reducing the paralytic meds to start getting him to open his eyes and squeeze their hand again. And if all goes well we could get the news soon they are going to try and take the ventilator off. Prayers this can happen folks. Thank you all for you kindness.
