Well we have good news and some bad news: We were present when the Dr.s rounded this am. They discuss all aspects of John's progress, regress and care. The good news is his hematocrit is better, though still not where he should be and he will recieve 2 units of blood and a unit of platelets this morning. The other good news is his creatinine is at 3, which is lower than yesterday when it was at 4. This is one way to measure his kidney function. He gets to have a few popsicles today which makes him extremely happy.
The bad news is, his arm is still not functioning fully and there is no gaurentee of complete recovery. I am asking you all to pray for total healing in his arm. He has nerve damage in his brachial plexus, we don't know if the nerves were just stretched or actually torn, but we do know a God who can heal. Meanwhile he will be put on a medication to relieve the pain and continue with physical therapy. We are still in the ICU. Again, thank you for all your prayers and support.
Hey Lil' John as I've always called you;).Lori and Steve....Praying for strength for you all. Also praying God will touch your arm and give you a complete recovery through and through...We serve an awesome God who can do more then we could ever think or ask for. I was reminiscing your journey from the time you came into this world and what a miracle God has already wrought. Sending a little something your way to help brighten your holidays. Nothing in comparisn to the gift of a new kidney and liver but hopefully will brighten your day. Love and prayers! Cyndi in the sunshine state.
