Sigh

After a little bit of optimism last night, John deteriorated quite a bit overnight and this morning. He is still in ICU. His platelets have dropped. They suctioned out at least a liter of old blood from his stomach. His BP is very low and his PCP doctor asked us how far we wanted to go.

As of late this afternoon, there doesn't seem to be much more blood being sucked out of stomach, it mostly looks like typical stomach stuff, so MAYBE his platelet count will increase. He has decided that he doesn't want to be resuscitated if/when it comes to that. I did talk him into accepting blood products in the hope they will still be able to tap him. His BP is still quite low, but blood oxygen levels are good and his electrolytes aren't bad. But he's SO tired of it all. He is alert, very much at peace and not at all afraid. We've been able to spend some time in prayer with him today which included two visits from pastors. I just stopped back here to take the dogs out and feed them. I'll be going back soon and we'll watch the hockey game with him on this little tiny TV in his room. That should be interesting.

Please continue to pray for healing, wisdom and peace. God can still perform a miracle if it's His will. Thanks for your prayers.

Love,
Susan
