Sam Improving ...
Sam is still being a mystery with this bug he got last week - good days and bad days. However, he’s definitely turned the corner ... we are feelign out of danger and no need to admit him to the hospital. Last week, he was worrying us. Last night, he slept through the night for the first time in a week. Steam showers seem to really help him breathe better and help his heartrate to stay nice and low - gets rid of stress. It also seems to cool his skin down. He’s had hot rashes on an off all over his body. This comes and goes all day. The shower helps that a lot. No fever, no stomach symptoms and he’s breathing much easier. However, he’s still being unpredicable - on and off Oxygen, up and down heartrate.
For the rest of the week ... I think he’s out of school all week. We still haven’t been able to get him off the ventilator because he breathes too hard when off of it. So, we’ll wean him off of that slowly and then hopefully, school next week.
So, pray for him to be comfortable, no rashes, sleep well and get off the ventilator during the day.
Thanks for the prayers,
Bellers zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
