            The respiratory therapist has changed his breathing mechanism again. He has upped the pressure of the input to 75%, I think. The object is to help him more effectively push out the Co2 in his lungs. This is still not a tube pushed down his throat.   Also, he is still breathing very quickly.  When he exhales, it sounds like he's playing the kazoo. I'm thinking he 'd taken up a musical instrument, and he's not doing a very good job. 
            The good news was that he is not restless.   I felt much better with the Catholic programs on his computer doing the job, a better job, of calming him down that I could do on my own.     I was sitting in his room doing other things.  BUT, always listening, listening to what is going on.
