So Dave, you are experiencing the Medical Roller Coaster. Hang in there and yes, we will keep praying for Adam and the family.

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 ************** AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.
