The latest from Ken:

Still stable. Awake and coherent. Oxygen saturation in high 90s (normal range) with O2, around 90 (bottom of normal range) without. The new oxygen rig they have him on includes a humidifier which cuts down on his coughing; yesterday they had him on 7 l/hr of O2; tonight he was maintaining high 90s on 5.5. Blood pressure & temperature normal. He is on "breathing treatments" including steroids, put has not mentioned the pulminologist. Bacteria count in his blood is either not going down or going down extremely slowly despite constant antibiotics.
