Doc just left. He says I'm doing better, I've managed to stay away from needing a ventilator. But, I have to spread the damage I do have in my lungs from just the back. I have to lay on my belly and my sides to move things around. I'm not out of the woods by any means, but it could be worse. 

I think I understand that...maybe. But if that's the drill...do it!  Will to do this is key. Never give up. You are a strong man. Don't forget that. You have to be strong for Lisa as well. Temporary disorientation. It has to be. We won't think it anything else.

My poor sinner's prayers continue for you both.

There's been some very positive results in studies involving pronation... what they're having our friend do position wise.

It sounds like you're in good hands my friend and we know all of our Prayers are being heard!

 

Prayers continue for you and Lisa!

[Slappy]

Checking in with you Steel...how’d you do today? We are still praying! 

[FALCnR]

Prayers to you my friend!

Done nothing but sleep today. Yesterday was rough, today has been better. Looks like Lisa might get out tomorrow! I'm still on the machine.

Big trees from little acorns grow. It's small steps my friend. But you are on the mend! Soon be slinging those products around again.

Been thinking a lot about you. Every time I've woken up the last few nights, you and a couple others are always in my thoughts. It seems I fall asleep asking for help for my friends and family. That's good I think.

Problem is I only sleep a couple hours at a time.

Fell asleep here at my desk after Wife and I ate our Thanksgiving Dinner. Man that turkey is lethal. Best sleep aid I've ever found. lol

Keep resting and let us know how both of you are. 

[Quavodus]

Hope you both keep improving.

CRP means C-reactive protein test. Anything above 10 is a sign of serious infection, trauma, or disease. Mine was  30. So that is really good because the infection is going way down!!!!

LOL! I was out to ask from my wife what it meant! 

Thanks for letting us know.
