2/18 Friday Evening

James is doing fairly well this evening. Most of his vitals have maintained. Periodically he is having some sort of shaking spells for which they are not sure why. During those periods his blood oxygen levels fall into the 50's, but when over, return to the 60's and 70's. He remains off the paralytic, fully sedated and on substantial pain meds. He is still on the ventilator, with the ECMO machine running at 70%, and is receiving bedside dialysis.

We hope to continue forward in small steps like the last few days. Please keep the power of your positive thoughts and prayer lifting James up.
