Monday, July 28th
Dave had dialysis this morning for 4 hours. During dialysis they gave him 3 units of blood! This is the most blood he has received at one time since his huge surgery about 5 weeks ago. From dialysis they took him to Interventional Radiology to aspirate the fluid from his right lung. He finally got back to his room a little before 5:00. When he got back from IR he was in a tremendous amount of pain from the injection site. Dave rated his pain at a 10. They were able to give him a pain medication that made him more comfortable within 10 minutes. They aspirated .5 liters of fluid from his right lung. Radiology came in and x-rayed his lungs to see if they had removed all of the fluid, we don't know the results of the x-ray yet. Please pray that Dave's lungs will be fluid free.

Was out of town this last weekend. So glad to see your blogs this AM. I checked Sunday night when we got home, and there were no updates. Kept praying and knowing that no news is good news. Praising God for Dave's progress. Hope to see you in a week or two. Love and prayers to all of you! xoxoox The Ver Schuer's
Hey Carpenters,
This is one of my favorite songs. Today, when I heard the bridge, I thought of you all. It speaks about the power of Jesus. May it encourage you as you call on Him for healing and strength. Know, God's light is shining through you as you face this challenge. I know it is not easy and the days can be long and very difficult, but know that He'll pull you through. There are people all over the world seeing Jesus as they hear what He is doing in your lives and seeing your amazing faith. "We're singing, for the glory of the risen king, Jesus!!!" We rejoice with you in Dave's recovery and the continued healing that we believe God has for Dave. 1Peter 1:3-9 Keep trusting and believing! God is good! Our God is bigger than we can imagine! He is our healer, provider, comforter, strength, and so much more :) . Prayin' for you all!
Everyone needs compassion,
A Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness,
A Kindness of a savior
The Hope of the nations
(Chorus:)
Saviour,
He can move the mountains,
My God is mighty to save,
He is mighty to save
Forever,
Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
(Chorusx2)
(Bridge:)
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory of the risen king, Jesus
Jesus Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king, Jesus
(Chorusx2)
(Bridge:)
HI Dave! We will continue to pray for you man. God is a God of grace and it's new every morning. Keep trusting Him. We know that it seems like the road is so long, but you are not alone on it. Makes it so much easier doesn't it? Dianne Hale and Gary Crook wanted me to tell you HI and that they're praying for you.
