Dear Friends.
The last couple of days have been horrible. I will try to send an
expanded update later but wanted to encourage you to continue your prayer for
Adam.
Adam was transferred to a rehab center, we were not happy with medical
services there, Adam ended up vomiting and aspirating the vomit (even though we
repeatedly said this was a real danger with Adam) and then Adam was rushed
back to Shock Trauma.
Here he is stable but in critical condition. They have run a variety
of scans and all come back normal; however, his white blood cell count is very,
very high. All blood cultures show no infection. There is a slight risk
his graft has an infection which is hard to detect but they feel something
should have showed up. They have placed him on antibiotics and allowing him
to
rest. He looks much better than he did yesterday.
He is having trouble hyperventilating even while sleeping so something
is happening but we do not know what it is.
Please pray
• for the doctors' discernment...if it is something that needs
treating that they find it quickly and treat it effectively
• for no infections to develop and that the aorta graft,
especially, stays infection free
• Adam's body will grow strong
• that no matter what happens we will honor God, reflect the
presence of Christ, and demonstrate the controlling influence of the Holy
Spirit.
So, we think we have taken a week-long step backward. Now for a few
steps forward!
Dave and Lisa
