Morning update: Praise that Dave is more awake and less confused this morning. Dr Young said that the sleepiness could have been caused by the benadryl Dave had been taking for the rash (which is completely gone now!). Dave is now off benadryl and also off Fentanoyl, pain medication because it could make his mind a little 'foggy'. Dave's white blood count is up again, 39,000. Dr Young said that this is probably due to the liver and pancreas being inflamed. A doctor from the hemo (blood) team is going to come up and check on Dave today, just as a precaution due to the high WBC. Dr Young said that there is no change in Dave's liver, there is still a small part that will probably die. Dave will not be on dialysis today! Yesterday he was on for a little over eleven hours. The doctors were satisfied with the results and are giving Dave a much needed break from dialysis. He had been on for 14 days straight. We found out this morning that Dave has bacteria in his urine. The doctors started Dave on an antibiotic. Please pray that the antibiotic clears the infection with no side effects. Dave is on the BiPAP machine right now. He is tolerating it fairly well. Last night, they started to put the mask on and due to the nausea from the food and difficulty breathing, Dave threw up and was pretty uncomfortable for a while. Please continue to pray for peace for Dave.
Evening update: No changes to report tonight, except Dave's temperature is 101.7. Dave has a cooling blanket on right now. Please pray that his temp will go down.

Praise God for His infinite mercy and grace. I continue to pray for you all and rejoice with each answered prayer. God's timing is not our timing and He is never slow or late. Praying for Dave's healing and peace for all of you.

We read the journals everyday and pass the info on to others that also pass it on and pray and pray and pray for Dave and your family. So glad to hear of improvements.
We are praying for you Dave, your recovery, and for strength and endurance for your family, we trust the LORD is with all of you.
It is hard for me to understand what you may be going through in all this, but I wanted to share from the message in church this morning from Psalm 70. It is a Psalm of David, who was a hero of the faith and lived his life trusting fully in the will of God for his life, "a man after God's own heart". Through his walk with the Lord, David did experience situations and afflictions like the one you are going through. In the first verse of the Psalm David calls out desparately to the LORD for help, and quick, as that is the only way it seems he can make it, through his affliction, which is described in verses 2&3. He is in the "trenches", battling each day like you are, Dave (and family). Then in verse 4 David says "Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, 'Let God be manified.'" Then he reinforces in the last verse that the only way he can make it through his trial is to get down on his face before God trusting him for everything.
Dave (and family), it is an encouragement to us to see your "David" like faith lived out through all this, we have seen God's faithfulness already in Dave's situation and He will continue to be faithful for HIS glory. As others have said we appreciate the updates through this blog and follow it daily. Love, Brandon and Vicky
