Ollie's left lung is doing a bit better. They have had to increase the O2 supplementation to keep his blood oxygen levels high enough, but he is still below levels that he were when admitted to hospital and shortly after the aorta repair. It's amazing how his character is coming to the fore! They must put him on his tummy so that he can expel the phlegm when he coughs, and he fights them when they do this! Even trying to lift himself up on his forearms. He is strong, and has an inextinguishable will to live. A lesson to all of us...
