Saturday Evening Post

Sorry this is late tonight.

He acted a little better this evening. The breathing is still our big concern. They are leaning more towards the lungs causing the change in the white blood cell count. The pancreas numbers have maintained a normal level today. They did take off two liters of fluid during dialysis today. The Dr said that when that happened his heart rate and blood pressure dropped closer to normal. We are hoping that they will get him up and moving some tomorrow. He told my mom and I that he was getting up when we were visiting him.

Our pray concerns for now are
1) Rest for him and the family
2) Clearing of the lungs and improved ability to breath
3) Wisdom and Patience for the dr and nurses
4) Safe travel for Dan

The time in ICU started one week ago. He has become very disoriented and agitated. We think that he will possibly be moved out of ICU as soon as Monday. While this will help his mental state this opens a whole new set of concerns for my mother and family. She will have a harder time resting because she will feel the need to stay up there overnight. Please pray that she gets rest now and has peace about this situation later.

I feel like I am rambling at this point. I am going to go to sleep and will possible get an update from the night nurse early in the morning. Hopefully we will have encouraging news!

Thanks for the prayers!!!
