Hubby is holding his own, not getting alot better but not worse. His blood levels are slightly better, oncologist said they would normalize on their own after the chemo starts to leave his body. His blood pressure is still very low and needing heavy meds to support it which is a very big concern. Still on the respirator as he is not strong enough to push out the air from his lungs.

Hubby is showing a tiny bit of improvement, his oxygen levels are getting better and they are gradually going to wean him off the respirator. Finally got the drain in him today and drained a lot of fluid from his tummy already so by tomorrow he should be much more comfortable. He is very aware and alert even on the respirator and hoping to get him out of ICU and back into the oncology ward very soon. Still has loads of…
