How would you punctuate the following?

My aunt is placing a memorial for her father-in-law, who passed away this winter.  On the memorial they are wanting to put his name as follows:

John A., Sr.

She is unsure if the comma needs to be placed after the middle initial or not.  I have given her my two cents, but she was hoping for some more confirmation from others.  She has been getting a mixed answer on this.

Thank you all for help!  Have a great day.

Would someone please put the commas and capital letters where they need to go in this sentence.  For years I have transcribed op reports and now after 30 years, I have gotten a different version of this sentence with commas in different places than I have ever known them to be in.  Appreciate your help.

Xeroform gauze fluffs and a dry stress dressing was applied to the wound. 

On C-flex up to 5, respiratory disturbance on right side was 0, but sleep efficiency was poor, and the patient had difficulty tolerating CPAP, so much so that she refused it.   

That's a lot of commas, isn't it?  I followed the comma rules, but still... there's a lot of them in this one sentence.  It's a verbatim account, so I feel like I shouldn't break this run-on into two sentences, but it's awfully tempting.

Any suggestions?
