Remember to say thank you

Sorry I haven't been able to update...I was at a conference and the didn't have internet in my room. Last time I posted I said that Jon's oxygen was at 50%...They had tried to get it to 50% and ended up having to move him back to 55%. On Friday they were able to get him down to 45%. He has tolerate this well. The doctor said that things were all about the same, but 3 different nurses told us that he was better. On Saturday, they moved his nitric from 19 down to 10. He has tolerated this so far. They were also able to leave him on his back for one hour without having to increase his oxygen. This is an improvement. They also told us that they have a scale to assess lung function...when Jon moved to Baptist he was at a 60, today he was a 196 and at 200 people are no longer in ARDS!!! They also told us that they thought his x-ray from today looked better. Please remember to give thanks for the many blessings and answered prayers. Please continue to pray. It seems like every time things seem to be improving prayer volume may go down and we have a setback...anyway, we appreciate all the prayers and please keep praying for Jon's recovery.
