15 breaths per minute…the speed established by the ventilator.
22 breaths per minute…actual breath taken.
Based on the math Vernon was taking 7 gulps of air on his own accord when I saw him briefly today.
His breathing isn’t strong enough, deep enough or sustained long enough yet…but he is starting to get his lungs under him again.
The pelvis surgery went well. The doctor was satisfied with the patch job after an hour and a half.
According to the nurse he will continue to stir more and more as they reduce the meds every 12 hours.
The kidney tests are improving, though still not in the range they should be.

Hi Ally,
So glad…despite having also been in the hospital recently, my heart sings at your small good news…Our two family have had much tragedy and I LOVE your good news, however small it may be. May he breathe long and prosper 🙂 Much love, Amy Shultz
Hi Amy. I’m so touched to read your note. Your family has been on my mind and heart since I heard the news, just days after Lauren’s accident. I wish I was reading this on her blog instead of just ours. I hope your hearts are changed for the better and they heal well: Lauren seems like the kind of woman who would only want that for her family. Still so sad for your loss.
Thank you Chris for your diligence in monitoring Vernon. I am moved by your care and love for him. We all are praying as the waking up process is underway.
thankyou so much Chris for the update …. think we can all breathe again after hearing this news xx
Just breathe. Can be a profound statement. Thankful for the Breath of Heaven…turning darkness to light.
Love hugs and kisses Alison, our minds and hearts also turn to the incredible surgeons doctors and nurses. xx
In a small way I feel like we’re all holding our collective breaths as we pray and wait for Vernon to wake. My mouth shall tell of your righteousness and your salvation all the day, for I do not know their limits. Psalm 71.15 Much love to you Allison
