Day 21 & 22 upsdate

Saturday, Day 21, Brenda is able to breathe in moist room air without the use of the oxygen from the machine. Due to Brenda's critical condition they are not going to work on the spine yet. Today, Day 22, Brenda was placed in a "stretch chair". They had her in a sitting up position for 45 minutes. Brenda was actually able to look out her window. They will continue doing this every day. Friday night they stopped the antibiotics for the staff infection, because all of Brenda's cultures and vitals look good. Her sugar level is back to a normal range, this will be monitored daily and treated accordingly. Thursday morning around 7 she is scheduled for another skin graft. Doctor Perry said that, if possible, they may get her in for a few minor skin grafts before Thursday. She had her dressings changed and is running a slight fever that is being treated. She is still critical and we ask that you keep praying. Next update will be on Tuesday.
