Sunday afternoon:
Mike had visitors today. Martin and Brenda came down form Pocatello to see Mike. Bette thinks that Mike recognized their voices because he opened his eyes really wide. He has a fever. Around 102 or so. Haven't been able to figure out a source. They did blood cultures this afternoon around 5pm. His back has some little blisters that looked yeast-y. His feet are not nearly as swollen as before. they put isotoner gloves on his hands. He has a lot of secretions from his vent.

He is still sedated, but opened his eyes a couple if times today. He was a little restless and was swinging his arms around. The left arm doesn't track too well to his face. They had a time dodging his arms and finally put a bungee (bungie, bungy ???) cord on his arm so it wouldn't be able to get close to his face. His fingernails are black. Bette says the nurse said he would probably lose them but they will grow back. Bette sounded tired tonight.
Thank you for your continued prayers.

More later,
and so we go
