In the ICU at Mercy, they have a 1:1 nurse to patient ratio. Joshua says the setup there is really nice. Last night's nurse said that last night was the best night Ray's had so far. Everything's been pretty stable for the past 24 hours now! His oxygen is still at 100% (obviously the highest that can go) and the pressure is at 24 (the highest it's been is 25), so hopefully they'll be able to get those things lower soon. This morning the doctor also seemed encouraged by his not declining recently.
Joshua's working from the hospital today. Thankful for laptops, wireless internet, and a great job. Joshua said it feels good to be able to do something that's a little more predictable and normal routine.
Joshua says they actually don't have a 1:1 ratio, but the nurses are so great that it seems like they do.
