The captian has turned off the seatbelt sign...

Hello all, well I just got back from visiting PJ, and we are now eclipsing 48 hours of good oxygenation. All this means, is we haven't had a setback in a while, nothing more. So I have good news to report for the moment. As the title says, the captain has turned off the seatbelt sign for right now. We may have future turbulence, but for now PJ has had a good couple of days. The nurse told me that the infection is getting better, so the antibiotics seem to be working. PJ was at 40% oxygen this evening and oxygenating at 97 - 98 percent which is great. We can only hope to keep this going. They are removing him from the bed tomorrow. The doctor told me today that they will wait until Wednesday to determine if they need to put in a trach for PJ.

I was able to see him tonight with no bandages on his face, he looks great. His lips, eyes, ear and face is healing wonderfully. This is great news. So that is the goodness that is PJ land for right now. I hope everyone has a great night, and keep PJ in your thoughts and prayers for the evening.
