Melinda had a calm and peaceful night. Yesterday when Dr. Smith came in he ordered Melinda's muscle relaxant medicine decreased. Dr. Smith says Melinda will be even more active. Dr. Huff came in this morning and looked at Melinda's breathing Sat's and changed her pressure support to 16 on the ventilator and our goal is 5. Dr. Huff feels Melinda is doing very well and this is good news to hear. The last few days there has been some talk that Melinda might be moving out of ICU and up to 2nd floor. I asked the nurse and he said the decision would be up to Dr Huff and at this time has not put anything in his report indicating Melinda would be leaving. Melinda is calm and resting today and this is good for her body to heal. Our family appreciates all the love, prayers and support we graciously have received and we foremost thank the lord for all his blessings he has given to each and everyone. God Bless!
