They have been
trying to wean Randy off the ventilator for the last few days. Yesterday he started to run a fever. Today they did a chest X-Ray and found a
little bit of fluid in one lobe of his lungs.
They started him on a different type of antibiotic and turned his
ventilator up to support his breathing better.
This is the third time they have tried to turn his ventilator down and
the third time he has developed fluid in his lungs after doing it. I think I will point that out to the Dr.
tomorrow when I see him. They need to wean
him off it at a slower pace. When
he gets pneumonia all his movements slow
down. It is frustrating to me, but on
the whole he is moving a little more all the time.
Another thing
that is weird about this illness is that one day he will be moving his feet a
little and then the next few days he won’t move them at all and he will turn
his head or twitch his arms a little.
Just because he can move one thing one day doesn’t mean he will be able
to do it tomorrow.
Thank you for
fasting and praying for him today. I
appreciate it. I told him that they were doing a stake wide fast for him. I hope he heard me.
