12/23 - morning quick post

I was up a little before nurse shift change, so I headed down there.  We have not heard from the doctor officially about last night's scan.  So many of you posted messages that you were up and praying at that time!  (Even though Blogger's time stamp was a little wonky.)  Thank you for  that.  I did get a preliminary look at the written report because one of the nurses pulled it up for me.  All I want to say at this point is that there is nothing new and negative there from what she saw.  There are some things I interpreted as potentially positive, but I don't want to post that until I'm sure.  At the very least, there is no new bad stuff to report from the scan.

This morning, Sam's blood pressure is elevated, but they are trying to control that with medication.  And once again, he's having trouble regulating his temperature.  They're working on bringing that down as well. 

Other than that, I've got nothing more for you.  I did hear from Awesome Donna #1 about Kyle.  He has a new issue that they're working on, but hopefully will be resolved soon. On the positive side, he is more responsive every day, which is great news.  Keep praying, friends!  We love you!  I'll leave you with the picture I took on my way after meeting with the nurses this morning.

  4. Ann, you stayed with my parents on Valpo choir tour to Milwaukee many years ago. My family and I are visiting with them right now and we prayed for you at breakfast this morning. I just wanted you to know you are in our hearts. We are hoping for the best possible for your son. God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Mary (Eyer) and David Loy and family

    One of my favorite songs from Sam's favorite musician/composer/conductor. May the promise resonate in your heart and soul today as you wait. Praying for you all without ceasing...
