His pulse ox dipped to low 80's so he had a lot of people in his room for a while.  Doctor, nurse & respiratory people.  They say it wasn't a code.

"He's doing very well. It doesn't hurt him to talk anymore and is receiving regular breathing treatments. He also gets this thing wrapped around his chest that looks like a huge blood pressure cuff. They turn it on and it vibrates and helps loosen the gunk. He's been coughing up pretty much gunk and has the pulse/ox on constantly. Mostly it's been at 93 but sways down and up from that. He's on a high dose of oxygen and has trouble breathing without it right now.

They just started him on IV antibiotics finally, but they haven't analyzed the sputum yet. They said it's hard to get a good sample but will try in the morning after he's slept the night. His right upper lung, and left lower lung are infected. The nurse didn't know if it was viral or bacterial but I think they treat all cases as bacterial because she said all pneumonia cases always get antibiotics. I told her the concerns about 'over-antibiotic-ing' Jake and she understood.

He ate quite well tonight for us---he said it was more he's eaten in days. We went to the café' and got him some mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers and fries. We kind of all shared them but he ate 3-1/2 mozzarella sticks and 1-1/2 chicken fingers. Then when his dinner tray came, he ate almost all of his little salad and about ½ of the unbreaded chicken breast.

I had to beat on him a few times with the assisted coughs but at least he's getting it moving now.

...he talked our ears off today.  Tomorrow will hopefully be a good day."
 

  Cough assists are rather scary at first.  You place your palm on Jake's lower chest and he breathes in - then when he starts an attempt to cough, you push (hard) in and up.  You feel like you are hurting him, but it helps him cough.

You know, that sounds like a plunger for the sink.
