Jim is in a step down unit! He was moved there around 5 am this morning. It is a private room and Char said it is about 90% quieter than the ICU.He will stay there through the weekend and then be moved to a regular room. He tires very easily and the doctors said he will be this way for at least 6-8 weeks. The doctors found another bacteria which they believe came in through his PIC line. The line will be taken out for about 72 hours so in the mean time he will receive his medication through a regular IV. Keep on Praying!
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever."Psalm 28:7-9
