Today was one of the tougher days we've had. Brent and Mom visited with the doctor early this afternoon. He informed them that the area around Dad's brain stem is swelling. This is concerning to the doctor. They are going to give him medicine to try to reduce the swelling. The procedure to drain the spinal fluid that was done Wednesday night is having the desired results for the front part of the brain.
For a short period today they completely removed the ventilator to allow him to wean off of the machine. They've since replaced it for the rest of the night. Please continue to pray that the pressure will stay down especially on the brain stem.

We are thinking and praying for all of you for strength and for the medicine to reduce the swelling.

Owen and I have all of you in our thoughts and prayers. May God continue to guide the doctors with Jerry's treatment.
I watch every day to get the update on Jerry's condition. I pray that the swelling will be bought down with the meds the doctor is prescribing.. Just know I am thinking and praying for all of you..
I pray that all that the doctor's are doing to treat Jerry will do the job they are intended to and that Jerry will begin to respond to that treatment. May God's blessings of peace and sustenance be yours and may you continue to rest in Him. Hugs
