Colby's second week is off to a pretty good start. He had a good day yesterday and so far this morning.
His oxygen percentage on the ventilator is up to 70% and that is a little higher than they would like. They are giving him a diuretic to help him urinate more which could help bring that percentage down. They did confirm, yesterday, that he does have some infection, but his labs were looking better and they think the antibiotics are helping. They should find out today what kind of infection it is and if they need to change the treatment. Either way he will be on antibiotics for the next 7 to 10 days. He is still on the dopamine for blood pressure but the dosage is less and they hope to continue to ween him from it.
I think our biggest concern for the week, and that which we need the most prayer, is the re-scan of his head that they will do tomorrow. Please pray that the result will show less blood pooling than in the last test and that there is no sign of an active bleed.
Thank you all for the continued prayer and support. May God bless you all.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12
Thank so much for sharing the update on Colby! So glad to know how to be praying specifically. Asking that there will be no bleeding!
