Wed. Night Update

We had a fairly good day today. The doctors all agreed that we took very small steps in the right direction today. The progress is overshadowed by the confusion about the heart problem. We were told today that the heart surgeon would not consider doing surgery at this time. We are caught in a very frustrating circle of he can't have the surgery for the heart until he gets more stable yet he cannot get more stable without the surgery. That sums up everyone's frustration and confusion with the situation.

We do know that Satan is the creator of confusion and frustration. We trust and pray that God gives way to the truth and the answers to this.

Our prayer request for now are
1) The blood pressure becomes stable and we can start get getting him off some of the meds for that
2) The lungs continue to look good and we can take the ventilator out soon
3) The abdominal pressure will stay where it is
4) The white blood cell count will continue to go down and the antibiotics he is receiving will not do harm to the colon and other good bacteria
5) Rest and Peace for everyone
6) Wisdom for the doctors as they try to figure out what is wrong

My dad's youngest brother Randy came into town last evening and my mom's sister Debbie came this morning. It has been a wonderful comfort to all of us to have them here. My uncle was able to go back and communicate with him this evening. My dad was awake and alert and shaking his head, rolling his eyes, and using his hands to communicate.

Thanks for the prayers!!!

We will be sure to show him all the comments you have put on here once he is able. They are such an encouragement to all of us. THANKS!!!!!!!
