Jim's heart rate and blood pressure are back to normal. The EVD was removed to close the opening in his head to prevent more bacteria to enter and help the meningitis heal more quickly. If Jim can't handle the increased pressure to his brain the doctors will have to put the EVD back in. He will be watched very closely today and checked every hour for any signs of head aches, confusion & strange behavior. He has a low grade temperature and the doctors are managing his pain with medication. Thankfully, his pain is nearly gone. He drank a whole Vernors and ate a few bites of a sandwich for lunch. His doctor was very surprised he was able to eat as they thought he would be out of it today. Char said "Jim looks 100% better compared to late last night." Thank you Lord for listening to our prayers!!
Psalm 75:1 We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds.

HI JIM,
ReplyDeleteIT'S GREAT TO HEAR YOU ARE GETTING SOME RELEIF FROM THE PAIN. I'M GLAD YOUR HEART RATE & BLOOD PRESSURE IS BACK TO NORMAL. I'LL CONTINUE PRAYING FOR YOUR COMPLETE RECOVERY.

I can't wait for Jim to come back to church! I know it will be sooner than anybody thought it would be!! Thank-you Jesus for saving our "Big Guy"!! I'll love him and Char forever!!
ReplyDeleteTalk to you guys later,
Rick.
Char continues to have stories to tell of the Doctors telling her that there is NO MEDICAL explaination for Jim's progress and recovery. They tell her that our explaination of DIVINE INTERVENTION is the best they have. We agree! God is GOOD ALL THE TIME and all the time GOD IS GOOD! WE are thankful for your continued fight and recovery!
