4/9

John needs more of the blood pressure medicine and more help from the ventilator to breathe today. He spiked a temp overnight; the medical team restarted the antibiotics this morning. The steroid dose has been increased to help with breathing. The tube feeding had to be stopped this morning for some extra digestion time. I wish there was some good news to add; the most I can say is that John is so tired he may not be aware of his pain. I hope to have better news in the morning.
