Hoping the market does not crash


As I attempted to sleep in the hospital last night, I could not help but compare Anna’s oxygen levels with the stock market. Over the past 12 hours Anna’s oxygen levels have continued to decline. She has a monitor on that shows her level at all times. 100 is ideal but the nurse told me anything above 94 is alright. The levels kind of bounce around a little so you are just looking for the average. Somewhere around 2:00 AM her levels dipped into the 80’s and stayed there. She was given an extra breathing treatment and steroids. They continued to watch the level hoping that it would rebound. Just like the stock market she had some good moments and some bad but continued to struggling to get to a good level. At about 4:00 AM she was again given another “package” of treatments that seemed to help her come back up somewhat. I hope that was part of her stimulus package that is going to keep her levels on the rise.
