Sorry for this being late. Yesterday the changes were:

-He's off the Swan
-The oxygen level maintained 96/97 constantly for the most part.

The rash is now pinker and going away slowly, and everything is looking better, still retaining water though.

Steve - Thanks for the continued updates. Sounds like Ross is slowly coming back to normal. I assume he is still in the ICU, so will keep praying for him.

 

[Nancy]

Sounds as if the critical part is over. Thank God! That's wonderful to hear.

That is great news. It looks like today is the turning point for your father and my husband. Hopefully, it will be uphill from here on out.

Thanks, Steve for your continued efforts and keeping us curious lurkers up to speed.

Granbonny, I think the Swan may be a catheter.

Regards,

p.s. Bonnie: your t-shirt from re-call is in. Shall ship by this weekend.

Hi Bonnie,

"Swan" is the big fat IV that they sew into your neck. Capable of transfusing you with (I believe) three things at once - blood, drugs, etc. In case of big bad happenings.

Hi Steve,

Yeah!!!! Glad to hear the good news. I'm sure from here on out it will just keep being better and better news! Thanks for the update!

I remember the Swan. As I had started walking around the bandages around it kept flopping and I almost lost it once! Please the adhesive gave me such a horrible rash on my neck! Glad to hear they took it off!

Thanks for updating us, Steve. No need for apologies as we understand you can only update us when you get the chance. Tell Ross we're all rooting for him! I'll continue to keep him my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

The "Swan" catheter in the neck can also be used to indirectly measure pulmonary pressure by a procedure called "floating the Swan." It's a big milestone to have that come out. They took mine out right before they let me wake up after 8 days.

Those are good oxygen saturation levels.

Beginning to look better for Ross!
