Dad is continuing to make good progress. They have stepped down his oxygen again and he is doing well with that. He is much more rested, able to talk a lot more and moving a lot more on his own.
The nurse made mention of him being moved to another floor and out of CCU so that is what we are praying for currently. If he is able to do well with the current oxygen level and even gets stepped down again, his chances of being moved out of CCU are increased. The main reason he hasn’t been moved yet is because of the bullae in his lung as they wanted him where they could respond immediately and most effectively. However, the more his oxygen gets stabilized, the less risk it is. (He has likely had it for a long time).
Dad was given a spirometer (to measure the volume of air going in and out) to do several times a day and he is improving considerably with that – Give my dad a task and he will figure out how to conquer it 🙂
I am thrilled to keep making these positive posts!
