3/8

Yesterday was a very bad day for John with involvement of every system.  He finally had a lot of wbc which were mounting a strong immune response causing all of these problems.  Today he is having a better day and making some progress maintaining his own blood pressure and oxygen levels.  If he can do this consistently, these will be the very first small steps toward getting off the ventilator; he has been on the ventilator for 8 days now.  Say prayers.
