Rene spent the Easter weekend accompanied by his parents and family. Rene’s spirit remains high and his Respiratory therapist indicates his lungs are getting stronger.

Today, Rene had his first “T-Mist” treatment. T-Mist is a treatment in which oxygen is dispensed into a straw and Rene must suck in the oxygen using his own muscles. During this treatment, Rene’s ventilator is not in use but is set to kick in should he require its assistance. The original plan was for Rene to trial the T-Mist for 2-hours this morning. However, Rene was able to withstand 8-hours of this treatment on his own.

This evening, Rene will sleep with the use of his ventilator which is dispensing a smaller amount of oxygen pressure. He will need to rest his lungs from today’s workout in order to attempt another T-Mist treatment tomorrow. For now, Rene is tired and has earned his rest like a true Champ!

With the power of prayer, we should always believe that “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me”.
