It has been a week since Wayne was discharged from the hospital. He is now completely off of supplemental oxygen. He has been on room air and maintaining O2 sats in the mid 90s. When he exerts himself he does drop but only to 88 at the lowest and re-sats within 15-20 seconds. He is regaining his strength but is still very weak. He has lost a good deal of his muscle mass and quite a bit of weight. We are not sure how much weight but more than he needed to lose, however he is alive. He has worked hard this week using his incentive spirometer and walking every hour. We both now feel comfortable traveling back to Alabama. We will take it very slow, 4-5 days.

We are both praising God for so many things. The peace we have both had throughout this could only have come from Him. We thank all of you that have prayed for us. I cannot tell you how important those prayers are/were. So many stories to share one day.

Please pray for these specific things
1. Wayne to continue to heal and recover.
2. Wayne to stay healthy. His immune system is very weak.
3. Our travels home, safety, stamina for both of us and good traffic.
4. Our car is still in the shop in FL and I would really like to be able to return this rental car once we get home.
