Alan continues to be at a critically stable state. After the nurse who runs the plasmapheresis machine talked with the Alan's doctors, they decided to change the frequency of plasmapheresis. This way, the chemotherapy drug they are giving him will be in his system longer since the plasmapheresis removes some of the medications in the filtering process. They increased his oxygen back to 70% and have been having good oxygen saturation levels. Alan has developed a small leak in his right lung. The doctor said that there is nothing they can do about it now; however, the nurse checked his arterial blood gas (ABG) levels and the nurse said they were good. The nurse also indicated that they still hear lung sounds in his right lung in his upper lobe and a little in his lower lobe.
Blood Drive Update: There will be a blood drive held on Saturday, August 13. It will be at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Peach (220 N Peach in Clovis), just south of Herndon (Click here for a map) We will provide more details about the time when we find out. Thank you so much to all of those who have already donated.
