Seriousness Prayers and Thoughts - Page 2

Thanks to everyone. Update: from my mother's post:

Quote:

About 3 hours ago we found out that his blood pressure was holding at 122/85 so the nurse lowered the meds. Now his pressure is holding at 99/61 and his pulse is 121. Praise God for this wonderful news, the dr's said he still isn't out of danger there is still much more to deal with...

Once he pulls through, I have a 20 dollar cigar and a steak dinner waiting for him. (His wife doesn't know about the cigar. Shhhh)

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it.

Keeping him in my thoughts... here's hoping his wife doesn't have to marry you! That mustache is a little suspect....

Thinking of you and your family...

Oh, how horrible to read this! My thoughts will be with you and your family! Especially your brother's wife and kids. To have to go through this twice must be hard on her.

Update:

Aaron is still in critical condition. His bp is holding up with less of the bp meds. But, his tissue is not absorbing oxygen. He is also now off the meds that make your blood vessels constrict. Which is awesome. His sugar levels are high so they are giving him insuline. His liver is still not functioning like it should, so they can't give tylenol for fever so all they can do is a cooling blanket. His kidneys are doing pretty well, though. They found some fluid in his lung but can't put in a tube because if they cut him he could bleed to death, his platelets are so low (they gave him a full bag of platelets on Saturday). They want to do a CT scan but don't want to move him. But he is still conscious and responsive.

All in all, his condition has greatly improved. He's definitely fighting it. I'm going to try and go back and see him today.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. It means a great deal to me.

DixieGal · 07-28-2009, 10:35 AM

I'm hoping and prayign that today will be the day he begins his journey to full recovery. Wishing for God's blessings on you and your family!
