Brief Morning Update on 12/4

Talked to the night nurse and PJ did have a few episodes of desaturation last night. He told me that the doctors were doing their rounds and would determine what they would like to do with him in regards to the bed. According to the nurse, the episodes were brief where he went to 89 - 85% oxygen level. So I don't know what that exactly means.

That is all for now.

Greetings to all from snowy St. Louis. My wife and I became aware of PJ's accident only this A.M. as my wife works with PJ's mother at Express Scripts. She contacted my wife today as she had heard that Kim's brother John had been burned badly over 60% of his face , arms, back and chest in a fire and explosion in June of 2005. His lungs were the worst and he was on vent much longer than the Docs liked. John is now on the road to reovery and it is a long one but getting better every day. As you are experincing now this is a sick roller coaster ride that you can not get off right now...I know this sounds crazy but what you are going through is normal process and has to run its course of up's and down's. I hope that there is burn support survivors group in your hospital...if not find one. They are so very wonderful as they give great insight to what's going on from a personal point of view as well as to what might happen next. We are praying for PJ and his family and buddies. And to PJ and those that serve our Country...THANK YOU! Get well soon!!
