Hopeful. In a word…
His RT has been progressively setting his oxygen to a lower liter flow and mix, and he’s holding good saturation. He will probably switch to a regular cannula from high flow tomorrow. The doctor said probably coming home with supplementary oxygen this weekend. He has some pneumonia debris in his lungs, but is just coughing it up. And a raging perineal yeast/fungal infection as a side effect of the antibiotics. It’s uncomfortable but treatable.
He will miss out on a bowling tournament Saturday, the volleyball season, and has a month off of work. We also canceled our tea reservation for tomorrow. I’m not sure when Disneyland will happen. We’d like him totally off oxygen before we go.
