Medical Update

This afternoon, David has done well with being slowly weaned off the high levels of oxygen. Normal room air contains 21% oxygen. David was requiring 70% oxygen last night, but he is now only needing 45% this afternoon.

David's labs (representing kidney, liver, and lung function) are also slowly improving. He has a slightly elevated white blood cell count, but he remains on powerful antibiotics for any possible infections.

He remains sedated and still, but his body continues to fight.
