9:15 PM Stephen is resting well. His blood pressure diastolic has been as high as 62 and we are all ecstatic about that. It has fallen back into the 30's right now, but Stephen is on pressure support which means he is doing the breathing. We are hoping he is getting past whatever made him sick and can get off the ventilator. His stomach area is softer and slightly smaller. He had activity (BM) which we are so thankful for as he really needs the relief. They are still pumping some fluids from his stomach and giving him Lasix. He is passing more fluids than he is taking in. His lungs are pretty much clear of fluid. Thank you again for all the prayers and support. Myra, Philip, and I really appreciate it. The extended family does as well. - Jeff
