Thursday Update

Bob and Laurie

Today was another baby step forward for Bob. Bob's sedation continues to be lowered and the Oxygen levels made it all the way down to 50% today, although they had to be brought up to 75% at night. His morning chest x-ray was unchanged and he still has fluid in his left lung. Bob's steroids have been tapered down. He will continue to get the steroids. Tests did show that there is elevated Creatinine in Bob's kidneys. The doctors will continue to watch that. In the next few days Bob will be having an EEG, as well as a new CAT scan. Please keep praying for him, his family, and the doctors and nurses who treat him.

As many of you know, Bob is dedicated to his restaurant. He truly believes that the restaurant and all the individuals who make it up are an extension of his family. Today Bob's store had an inspection. Many thanks to Bob's dear Wendy's friends and family who helped make the inspection day a great one. We know Bob will be grateful and thank you in person as soon as he is able to. Hats off to Susie, Gary, Steve, Al, Denise and the entire Wendy's crew for making a difference.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and kind comments on the blog. I intend on printing off all the updates and comments to make a book for Bob when he gets better. For those who have been wondering who I am, I am Bob's niece, Lauren. Here is a picture of part of the Morden crew at my wedding 3 years ago.
