Robert had his abdominal wound dressing changed this afternoon, but didn't respond well, so the feeding tube wasn't moved. He is receiving small doses of liquid nutrition through the feeding tube, and is also now getting nutrients intraveneously. Robert's platelet count is back up close to normal levels, but his hemoglobin level is low, so he is being given two more units of blood. He had a fever this morning, but that subsided, and his pneumonia hasn't gotten worse.
We've been trying to get a morning report out by 6:00, so Robert's work crews can get it before they head out for the day, but they're off tomorrow, so we're planning to sleep in! Keep praying and believing; progress is slow, but we're looking ahead with confidence that our God has good things in store.
...O LORD, you hear my voice...I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
Psalm 5:3

A rest for the family is important too! You need to remain strong for Robert and for one another. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help...whether it is bring you a meal, be with you at the hospital so some can rest, or run errands for you... we will help any of you in whatever way we can! With much love ~ Leon, Shelly & Colton
