The doctors plan to challenge Jim's brain through the weekend via the EVD. They will continue to increase the pressure to see how he handles things. If all goes well they would like to take the EVD out on Monday! Once the EVD is removed the doctors will evaluate Jim once again and then determine if he is ready to be moved to a step-down room. This means he would no longer be in the ICU and would be one step closer to coming home!
Jim is sitting up again today but he has not walked around. His hips are still very weak. He is exhausted and sleeps quite a bit...but he is in good spirits!

ReplyDeleteOur wonderful Precious Heavenly Father,
ReplyDeleteWe thank you, honor you, glorify your holy name. Lord we thank you for the many blessings you have already given to Jim and his family Lord, and we ask that you continue to see his recovery to the end. Lord as the doctors are going to increase the pressure to Jim's brain. We ask you to be with the doctors as they do this, be with Jim and his brain as the pressure increases. Lord we ask that you take control of the blood flow to his brain, and heal all the vessels needed to bring our brother back to church and back to his family. We ask you to be with him so he can get the rest he needs, and to guide him through this rough road. Lord we ask you to continue to be with the family, and continue to be with him mending hi, loving him, holding him, comforting him, and using him for you glory Lord. We love you so much and ask you to be with us so we can glorify you in all we do.
In Jesus name,
Amen
