The doctors are now planning to wait until Monday to do any major procedures, giving Robert time to gain strength and stability. We had hoped this would be a time of seeing his status steadily improve, but not much has changed. One lung is looking better, but pneumonia is still an issue with the other one. Other stats continue to fluctuate, but his blood pressure is now normal, and his hemoglobin level is good after receiving the two units of blood.
Someone from the blood bank was talking to us yesterday, and encouraged us to remind you how vital your blood donations are—literally a gift of life—so sign up if you haven't already! (Note that we originally listed both dates as August 8, but the first one is Thursday, August 6.) Even if you aren't in this area, get into the habit of donating regularly to your local bank.
From [Christ] the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians 4:16

Our family has been continually praying since we heard about the accident last weekend. I haven't seen many of you in years, but please know that we care and will continue to pray for you. We've also passed this on through our church's prayer line, so please know that there are many people down here in Virginia that are praying for Robert and you as a family.
