Miller is continuing to get better and better! He is still sleeping all the time. It is 11:00 and the only times he has opened his eyes today is when I have suctioned out his nose. But sleep is exactly what he needs. This morning the nurse lowered the amount of oxygen that Miller was receiving and he has been able to keep his levels up on his own for about 3 hours. But literally as I typed that his levels went back down and we just raised the oxygen level back up. This morning the doctor told me this is what today was probably going to look like. This is very normal at this stage of the sickness. So hopefully it won't be too long before we can go for a little while without oxygen and then no oxygen at all! So, it looks like we will be here another night.
