M,
I'm not very religious but at times like this I do react in a way that brings back all of my religious teachings of my youth. Catholic upbringing and Jesuit education.I wish you well and I am so happy to hear you are under the care of such well repected clinicians who have rallied to care for you. That is very important especially with pulmonary hypettension, of which I know very little, except it is high pressure in the pulmonary system. The O2 value should have been what greater than 90, right and yours was in the 50's! Isn't that considered acidotic rather than alkalytic? Trying to remember from days ago when I floated to the ICU occasionally. Never liked the real technical type of care, myself, but that was your specialty, right?
I will say a few prayers for your quick stablization and hope for success with any treatment you have to undergo. It sounds like you are coping relatively well considering how sick you are. This is when the one day at a time philosophy is called for.
Be well M.
