Morning update: We will give you a more detailed update later, but for now... everything is about the same. Dave's white blood count is 1,800 and his temperature is 101.3. Today he had physical and occupational therapy, a ventilation treatment, and he will have dialysis later. Thanks for your continued prayers, Dave appears to be a little more comfortable today.
Evening update: Dave took a trip down to Intervention Radiology where they did a fluid draw on his abdomen. The doctors found significantly more fluid than they thought they would find, so they placed another drain tube and sent samples to the lab. We are still waiting for the results. Dave was in a lot of pain this afternoon after the procedure, but he seems more relaxed now. The doctors started Dave on medication to raise his white blood count. He has been on dialysis all afternoon and is extremely exhausted. Sorry we are slow getting this information out, but we are thankful that the Lord knows the specifics of our requests! What a mighty God we serve!

Dave, Diane, Jiree, Traci, Brad & Nate,
We continue to pray daily for Dave's healing and strength for all of you. We claim the promise that we are loved by the Great Physician who cares for each of our needs individually. He knows your situation and cares.
We are encouraged to hear of the progress Dave is making and will continue to pray for not only his healing but also wisdom for the doctors and all those involved in his care.

One thing I've learned is that the way a patient "appears" is a BIG DEAL! So PTL he seems to be feeling better today..that say's volumes! Looks like he might be turning a corner...and we will continue to pray!

To Dave and all who love him,
God does not recognize a boundary on time. He knows Dave's needs before we utter a word in prayer yet we are instructed to bring our requests before the Lord which displays our dependency on Him and our faith and trust in Him.
It is evident you are drawing on Jesus' strength daily, hourly when needed and minute by minute when required. Thank you for showing us 'HOW TO KEEP OUR EYES UPON JESUS'.
We send our love, concern, thoughts, and prayers. May you all rest well tonight; rest in His peace.

To Brad and Traci and Dave and his family -
What a joy to read your blog every
day to see Dave's progress (even when it's very minute) AND to read
the daily testimonies. We are lifted up by those, as I know all
of you are too.
Though we can't understand the "whys" of God, it is evident that you are all understanding God's sovereignty and faithfulness.
We continue to pray for you and love you all.

Isaiah 33:2 O Lord, be gracious to us, we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.
