Hello all. I wrote an update earlier, and when I hit send, got an error message. It was very frustrating and so I walked away from the computer for a bit.
Essentially, there has been no change in 'Jr.' since yesterday evening. The pneumonia is still very bad. They are still anxious to be able to take him for a CAT scan to check the area of his lungs where the clot is lodged. His kidneys are still showing signs of strain, and he is still very swollen. He is still basically 'asleep' from the pain medications. They were able to completely stop the medicine to keep his blood pressure up (Levophed), and, praise God, his blood pressure is stable. His temperature is still normal as of this evening.
His mom was down today, and will be going down to see him again tomorrow on the train. We are planning on going down on Thursday and Friday (well, Sr. will be going down Friday, but I'd like to but it's doubtful).
We are so thankful for all the encouragement you've been faithful to send our way. While Jerry is not out of the woods, we believe God is in control, and are believing for Jerry, Jr. to make it thru this. He is a fighter and is very determined, is young and physically fit, and we know God is on his side... we can feel His presence in the room with him! What a comfort. We are also holding Jerry, Jr's life in an open hand before God, knowing that if it's his time to go, holding on and begging will do no one any good. I was reminded by a very dear sister in the Lord of that today, and I thank her for her words of wisdom.
Please continue to pray against any and all infection. Pray his kidneys continue to work. Pray for no absess to be present in his lungs. Pray that the swelling will go down, and that his arms will work. Pray and believe with us for miracles. Ask God to work in the lives of his friends who don't yet know Him (some of them are reading this).
Be safe, and take care... In Christs' love... Jerry, Sr. and Linda
