Sunday Update


Bob and his mom, Joan

Bobby 1971 
West Bloomfield Vikings

Although the doctors are telling us that the statistics are against Bob, we are not giving up hope.  Prayers are working because today was a better day for Bob.  We thank God and we thank YOU for your prayers.  His blood pressure is doing better.  Bob's heart rate today has been between 115-150, but needs to be 80-100 and steady.  

Bob's eyes were open a lot today.  He seems to be following voices and has squeezed people's hands.  His blood gases continue to be good and the oxygen has remained at 40 with the peep turned down to 5 (from 8) on the ventilator/trach.  Bob is also moving his mouth, coughing and yawning.  We see these as good signs and remain hopeful.

  1. Just left the ICU and was very pleased to see my brother's eyes look towards me when I called out to him. Praise God for his mercy and your faith! Jehovah-jireh
