SURGERY HAS BEEN CANCELED
I will update again later, but as of this morning Dad has been breathing on his own. At 5:30 this morning he decided to use his good arm and take out his ventilator. He is on 2% oxygen with a nose cannula. He still has an NG tube for nutrition, blood sugar levels still look good, BPs and temps are still good. Not positive that they will cancel surgery, but waiting on the doctor before we know for sure! We need him to start coughing to get mucus and stuff out on his own or they will do surgery. Please continue to pray that we can accomplish this today.
Please keep praying for our friend.....

God is good. One step at a time. Keep battling, buddy! We’re praying for you.
This is a marathon. Gut wrenching for the family. But there’s lots of prayers heading his and their way!
Christmas is full of miracles, hang in there Wilke, we have a lot of great things ahead of us.

Dad was more awake and aware of things today! He was following a few small and simple commands. Tomorrow they are doing the surgery @11:00 am to put in his abdominal tube line for feedings. We are moving in the right direction. By the end of the week to the first of next week he will be moving to a rehab facility. They are currently talking rehab at Frazier. Our only fear is that if something were to happen he would be admitted to Jewish Hospital and not back to Baptist East. To be admitted back to Baptist East he would need to go to another rehab facility. Please pray for us that we make the right decision and that he continues on the right path with his recovery.
