Family and friends,
Sorry it's taken me so long to update this today, but I'm having a rough time for some reason. I would think spending all this time at the hospital coupled with the fact that I can't sleep probably has something to do with it. It's just catching up with me.
Anyway enough about me. Bob is hanging tough. They took 2.75 liters off him with dialysis this am, but the surgeon thought with his low platlets it would be too risky to do the surgery today. They will reassess in the morning. Bobs red blood is still decent, and the really good news is that it looks like he's kicked the blood infection. Now we just have to get his kidneys up and running, stop all the fevers, raise the platlets and plasma, and get him breathing on his own without life support. The doc says they see little improvements every day and he's headed in the right direction.
Thanks to all of bob's and my friends for the encouraging emails and comments. It's amazing how you can see peoples true colors in the face of adversity.
Keep praying for him,
Michele

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteHappy to see some promising news about Bob. You hang in there - you are doing a wonderful thing staying right there with him - it isn't easy, but that's what loving someone is all about!
