My friend writes a glum and hopeless sounding update. But, won't you join me in praying for a miracle? I know that God is greater and Bobby can receive a miraculous interventive healing from our creator. Lift him up in ferverent prayer, won't you?
Good Evening Everyone,
Today was a very sobering day as the doctor had a sit down with us (me and my sister-in-law). It looks like they are going to keep him on the phentobarbital through the weekend as expected. The doctors are going to try and take him off possibly on Monday in order to see if his body will give us any type of response. There is a possibility that his inner cranial pressure has been high enough where he may have had a stroke. Once again there is no way to determine the amount of damage that was done to the brain without an MRI and they have been unable to do an MRI as he has not been medically stable enough to do one. In addition, the amount of fluids that he has been dumping through his urine is making a possibility of dehydration, and with all the medication that they have been giving him there is a possibility of kidney failure. The doctors have also told us that he has a slim/low chance of having a normal lifestyle if he is able to overcome the swelling on the brain and low blood pressure and dehydration. Chances are very strong that he would have to be on a ventilater and a feeding tube for the rest of his life. At this point they are unable to do surgery to remove a flap from his skull as he is not stable enough to go into surgery and the risks would be very high right now.
Please continue with the positive thoughts and prayers he really needs them.
Thank you,
Michelle
