Good morning/evening to everyone. Just something quick to ease your minds.

Dar had a restfull night and this morning according to her night nurse Dar is continuing to rest comfortabley.

Dar's white blood cell count is falling, her oxygen is now a 50% supplied by the ventilator and will most likely be dropped further today. We still await the results of her "sputom" sample. Again she has another UTI that is being treated, I believe that Dar's feeding tube may be replaced sometime today.

When relaxing and sleeping Dar allows the ventilator to do the work for her but when the nurses and staff are working with her she breathes more than what the machine is set at. Currently it is at 10, when Dar is helping it goes to 16-18 per minute. Her oxygen sats are at 100 per cent. Dar is communicating in "her" way to all that is asked of her and continues to impress the staff.

I feel confident that we will again get through this but still have to realize that Dar is going to be suseptable to these types of issues for a long time. Hopefully we can build up her immune system in the near future and as she gets stronger.

Have a great day and I will keep you informed as the day goes along.

Love to all,

Dar/Danny/Jamiesue
