Jerry's condition has not changed much over night. He still has cancer, and as his organs begin to shut down, his body is less able to move fluid, and so he has a big fluid bump on his head. He graduates today from Morphine to Methadone, and he doesn't even have to stand in line at a soup kitchen. There is also talk today of stopping antibiotics, but Nolie and I haven't decided yet what we think about that. His pulse ox is slowly creeping back up and is now 74%. Not great, but better than 40%.
Sabrina is our nurse today, and she graduated from Texas Tech. She tells me that Horn/Knapp Hall is air conditioned now, and even has thermostats in every room! Back in my day, if we were even lucky enough to have air conditioning, we certainly didn't have thermostats. If you wanted to adjust the temperature in your room you had to stack or unstack textbooks on top of the air vents. Kids today. . .
