New hospital, New staff, New low for oxygen saturation!

Jon was transferred to Specialty Select Hospital late afternoon today. Within an hour of arriving, while still getting settled, Jon's oxygen saturation level dropped to the 60's (above 92 is ideal). Therefore, he is back on a ventilator and as a result can not use the Passy Muir which enabled him to speak. Hopefully this will not last very long. He is stablized just not doing all the breathing himself. This is the lowest his oxygen saturation has gone so far. He does not have the fancy bed yet for the bed sore but hopefully will soon, as Mom said, he does not like to be rolled manually.

Please continue to pray for Jon and the family, for healing and everyone's strength. Thank you for checking in.

The new hospital information is:
Select Specialty Hospital-Columbus
1087 Dennison Ave
Room 240W
Columbus, OH 43201
