Our apologies for the lack of updates over the past few days. Life happens.
The challenging part about giving updates on R is that he can make progress for a day or two or a week, but have a bad hour and then be back to square one. What's even more challenging is when you can't give a good explanation as to why a setback occurs. As for today, we're thankful that he's still with us. I am reminded as I write that he is still fragile, not nearly out of the woods.
He remains in intensive care on a ventilator, several medications and dialysis. New news of the day is that he's got a bladder infection. Hopefully the antibiotics can clear it up quickly. We were told that he threw up for a few hours this evening. For some reason, his stomach just wasn't tolerating much in it. The nurse ended up putting in an ng tube (through his nose into his stomach) to help relieve some of the pressure.
We continue to pray for his kidneys to start working, his lungs to get stronger and his heart rate to remain stable. We are also praying for the bladder infection to go away quickly. Thank you for continuing to pray with us.
