Well, I am here posting again after a great visit with PJ. Not everything went his way tonight, he is still having intermittent problems saturating oxygen in his lungs. Particularly when he laid on his back and side this evening. Because of that, he gets to stay in the bed for another 24 hours. The nurses seem to say that this is normal behavior, and that most patients go through this. His fever was gone when I left, and they believe that they have found the culprit (a nasty little bug they tell me) and they are dealing with it. We are simply waiting on the lungs to heal, and that is not happening as fast as most of us would like. They put him back to 100% oxygen this evening, and were getting ready to roll him over on his belly when I left. They bathed him tonight, and I finally got to see him laying on his back for a while. The swelling is going down day after day, and his burns are healing great. It is just a waiting game to this point. So not the best of days in PJ land, but things could be much worse. They keep telling me we will have some set backs, and it appears that PJ is having a slight setback tonight. Pray for a good night, and a good couple of days.
That is all for now, as always keep the thoughts and prayers coming.

Tell PJ he needs to turn around and start taking his steps in the right direction! No seriously, tell him that I love him and will be back to see him in a few weeks. Thanks for keeping all of us posted!
