From caring bridge things have taken a turn for the better!

Josh has now been at the U of M for a little over 24 hrs & things are looking up!!!

When Josh arrived at the U of M early Tuesday afternoon he was on 100% oxygen. Since then they have slowly lowered it down, keeping a close eye on his blood oxygen level, which had dropped to a scary 52% as of early Tuesday. Well, we are happy to say that they have now brought it down to 50% and Josh is maintaining a 98% blood oxygen level all on his own!! Although Josh is still on the life support system, things have turned in his/our direction!

Thank you to everyone for all of your kind words and prayers, they are working!!! We will be sure to hand Josh/Shack his laptop, as soon as he is ready.

Here's an update to the update:

I just spoke with his wife Chantal and he is now at the lowest oxygen setting of the vent (45% I think) and his oxygen level in his body is 98%. So that is good news.

He's still in an induced coma, but if he continues to progress as he has been he should be able to come off the ventilator in the next 48 hours or so.

Say what you want about the H1N1 hype, but this is real life. Influenza ain't nothing to fool around with.

Good luck, Shack.

[sparkyaber]

Great to hear things are turning in the right direction! My family and I are thinking of you. Take care.

[Rooster Chaser]

It was almost a year ago that my family was the recipient of prayers from this site. Reading the things people posted on here always made me feel better, and helped out. So know you folks are making a difference for he and his family.

Hang in there, take the steps forward, and know that it wont be long and these hard times will be distant. You'll be running around outdoors soon!
