A DAY OF REST FOR JOHN
Tuesday was pretty much just a day of rest for John as he remains on the ventilator. Careful monitoring of his heart and blood pressure kept him on an even keel. The Critical Care Doctor's goal was "comfort and rest" to gather strength for more testing ahead as they search for that illusive "root cause". He feels John's body has been under a great amount of trauma and stress. John was able to take in high protein/high calorie liquid through his feeding tube and sustains it well. This is a critical piece to recovery.
Now Paul and I are off to see what today brings. We are so grateful for the minutes when he is under less sedation and we are able to communicate through his hands squeezing ours. The Hoods drove down from Utah and we will have Stephen and Elisa join us today.
Even though you don't see a lot of comments posted, KNOW THAT people everywhere are praying for John and your whole family. You have an extensive family in Christ who love you, and are standing with you through this trial. Be encouraged!
