Dear Family,

Just a brief note Tuesday as the computer network is being very
difficult today...

Skylar is about the same/slightly better perhaps.  They have tried to
reduce his PEEP to 9 today, and he's been struggling to stay oxygen
saturated.  They turned oxy back up to 45% temporarily and they are working
with him.

Please pray especially for Peter, Skylar's good friend, who is stable but
in very serious condition with liver and kidney and lung trouble.  His
parents are very distressed.

The opthamologists have noticed that Skylar has swollen optic nerves - may
be a sign of excess blood pressure, or other.  Please pray that these
observations may not indicate any long term problem.

Thanks for persisting with us.

Love,

-Dann
