- They did not find any serious infection. Dr Young said that this does not mean that Dave does not have an infection, only that it has not grown to the point they can culture it.
- Dr Hutchins removed the stint placed during surgery #2. The doctors believe this stint may have been irritating the pancreas, pray this is correct and its removal will ease Dave's pancreatitis.
- Dr Grant looked over his liver and said it doesn't look terrific, but it looks like it it healing.
- After an unplanned bronchoscopy (scope of the lungs), Dr Young found and removed large amounts of mucus they did not know was there. This may have been one of the causes of Dave's increased need for oxygen.
- The doctors now have a total of 8 tubes coming out of Dave's stomach. This will increase drainage and hopefully help with his pancreatitis.
Thank you for your continued prayers. Dave has a long road ahead of him and we really appreciate your support.

Praying that you ALL hold steady and rest in His gentle, firm, and capable hand. What a journey this is for you. Our prayers are with Dave, especially, that The Lord will comfort him and give him a deep peace during this time. Thank the Lord that He has guided the surgeon's hands well...one more step!

I want to thank everyone who is praying for my brother Dave.
He is such a fine man and precious to me. I believe in the power of prayer. I know yours have made a difference for his healing.
Thank you also to so many people who continue to support Dave's family in so many ways. Dave is strong in his character and in his faith. He is so very blessed in his friends and his family.
There have been miracles since Dave's accident. God is indeed faithful to us. I am holding to God's promise for strength and healing for my brother Dave and also for his family during the journey ahead.
