They are about to turn Dan on his back again. They are going to leave him on his back for a few hours and take another blood gas draw and see how he is doing. Hopefully they’ll be able to keep him on his back. They are able to send a sample from his lungs for testing to see if there is any sign of pneumonia. Just to be on the safe side they are giving him a broad spectrum of antibiotics. In the best case scenario if all goes well, then tomorrow they may be able to take him off the paralytic. They did say that often in Covid cases you do one step forward and then two steps back until everything gets balanced out. They told me i could call after 5 to see what the results of the new blood gas draw will be.
