Even more good news @ 2:54

Lauren just arrived from Ecuador. We are so glad she is finally here and that all of our family is finally together. We just went back to see Chris. His oxygen level was at 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the highest it has been since he was admitted to the hospital. The oscilator (jet ventilator) is recruiting the aveioli in the lungs. The nurse said they will leave him on the oscilator through out the night because he is doing so well on it. They may consider moving him to a regular ventilator tomorrow sometime.

We are on a roller coaster ride. We have to keep praying that he remains stable. We are taking this a minute at a time. My whole family and I are amazed at the power of the Lord and the power of prayer.
