Jon had a good night last night. They have his nitric oxide as low as they can get it w/o turning it off. They are also trying another approach...they are going to lower his oxygen % to 50% and let him stablize then try to turn off the nitric. We are still waiting on the x-ray from this morning. Jon's temperature is good as well as his blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen level. We think he looks so much better each day. He seems to be a lot less swollen than he has in the previous days. To us it is such an encouraging sign...but we are not the doctors. This morning we went to the church service held here at the hospital. It focused on Courage, Comfort, and Help in Times of Trouble. These are a couple of scriptures that really stood out to me: ""God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." Psalm 46:1-3 and "These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33...Please keep praying.:)
