Update on Bobby

It's been up and down, touch and go for our young friend Bobby. His mom writes daily and this time she had some hopeful news:

Good Evening Everyone,

Well I am moved back into the hotel. Today was a fairly good day for Bobby, his inner cranial pressure stayed between 2 -6. Then we found out he was dumping too much fluid and that was why his inner cranial pressure was so low. So the doctors put him on another fluid to retain some of the fluid and that brought his inner cranial pressure up to between 14 & 16 which is still good. The pituitary gland is what regulates your fluid retention level and right now his gland is telling his body to dump all fluids and that will cause his body to de-hydrate which is not good either. Tomorrow they are doing a trachostomy so that the ventilator will go through a hole in his neck instead of through his mouth. The doctors say that is better and gives him less of a chance of getting recurring pneumonia.

Well I think that covers everything.

Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers.

Michelle

Dear Father God,

Once again we come before you with praise, hope, and love. Your word tells us to lay everything at the feet of our Lord Jesus. We humbly do that now. We trust you with our very lives and it is that trust once again with which we appeal to you for the sake of Bobby. You are working on his body Father, and we ask that you continue to heal him. We also pray for his spirit Lord God. Draw him (and all those who don't know you completely) gently back to the fold. Keep us every mindful of our own walk and help us to be faithful "do-ers". Let everyone see the rainbow after the flood Father. Let those who don't know you weep with joy and adoration of the fullfillment and revelation the Holy Spirit brings.

I love you Father God. WE love you and pray together in one accord in the powerful and wonderful name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen
