Day 12

There is not much new news to report today. The bleeding that R had been having for the past few days seems to have been fixed. Doctors decided to pull some of the bandaging off today and found a source putting out a little blood toward the surface of his incision. They were able to cauterize it and, so far, there has been no bleeding. The nurse told us this evening that R's heart rate has been fluctuating to as high as over 200 bpm and then falling to around 170 bpm. They're not sure why it is fluctuating, but they are watching it closely.

Jen & I both plan on attending rounds tomorrow morning to hear from the doctors how they think R is progressing. We will update the blog tomorrow around noon.

We have been told by many people that they have had a hard time posting things on the blog. Jen & I would like to give you our email addresses and welcome you to send us any feedback. I also know that many of you are praying for R. If you'd like, we would be willing to send you a picture of him so that you have a face to put to his name (or initial).

Thank you for your continued prayers. We will update this site tomorrow around noon. Blessings!
