1:30 visit

1:30 found him sleeping again. BP at 110/35 HR 56 and SPO2 undecided between 99 & 100 (whoopie). He had requested morphine around lunch because respiratory came in this morning and did another percussion treatment. Nurse Alisa said this morning's chest x-ray showed some congestion so they are trying to loosen it up to make it easier to suction out of him. The percussion makes him hurt and he told her as much. This should not interfere with his transport to Atlanta, which was confirmed by the Ambulance carrier this afternoon.

The ambulance coordinator called and they will arrive in Dothan tomorrow night and anticipate a 6 a.m. departure time for Shepherd (woohoo). I will be allowed to ride upfront with them and Scotty will follow in the car.

Will continue to update and once again thank you all for the encouragement, support and prayers.
