Re: josh is out of operation - need prayers

[Guest guest]

We are praying for you here in NY. Being an ICU nurse what you describe is serious but does not have to be fatal. I have had many people this sick do fine. It is a long road and there will be set backs. That is how the body works. It is a 2 steps forward and 1 back thing, as long as you are heading slowly in the right direction. Many of us have been there with a critical child. It sucks! Keep the faith.

with all his other liver problems something else could happen. he is on respirator aand his blood pressure is being artificially supported, it went quite low again. They said if things went well he might wake up tomorrow but it mihght take as long as a week. they emphasized all the obstacles that could happen , wound not healing, kidney failure, not getttting blood pressure going, etc. I feel so out of control. and that is right. God is control. since it is a holiday I am able to get on the computer here - usually is is extremely difiiicult. please pray - I feel like I can't get past this - cindy, josh's mom sorry if this came twice.
