Prayer Requests

Uncle Phil (Denison)is in the Brookings hospital
Rebecca, (Niece) took him to the Desmet emergency room last night. His blood sugar was over 500 and they think he possibly had a mild heart attack. It is possible he will get shipped to the Heart hospital in Sioux Falls but not sure yet. I am going to try and stop by there on my way home from Vermillion tonight.🙏
Update- Phil was moved to Sioux Falls

We knew a hard day was coming and today was that day. Miss Kaliyah has needed extra help today with her breathing, her heart rate has been very elevated, and her body temp has dropped more frequently. They put her in a giraffe bed (fully enclosed) to help regulate her body temp. They have done full blood workups and are still unable to figure out what’s going on exactly. One test they did was to show infection/inflammation but with her surgery the results aren’t the most helpful. They are doing two blood cultures tonight and then starting her on two broad spectrum antibiotics. The doctors feel it’s just her way of saying she needs a little extra help, but want to run tests to make sure nothing else is going on.
Thank you for the prayers and the continuing of prayers!

4/17/2024 @11:30 from Jed re: Mary Lou this morning:
Mary Lou's chest X-ray showed she's developed a pneumothorax and she needs a chest tube. Surgeon to place under anesthesia hopefully in the next hour or so.

Mary Lou update:
Mom fell Sunday morning and broke her upper humerus on her right arm and also broke 6 ribs. She is in the Brookings hospital for pain control and therapy. She is still having a lot of pain. A splint was put on her arm today to help stabilize it and help with pain. Please pray for continued strength and relief of pain.

We are gaining weight. We are now 4lbs 10oz Her surgery site/belly are looking really good still. They took her off paralytic and sedation Thursday afternoon. She is still intubated, hoping Monday to get that removed. With bowel out it was swollen; so with putting it all back in it took over some of the space her lungs needed. So now her lungs are a little squished. So intubation helps her rest a little and give the bowel time to reduce swelling. She is on the lowest setting for being intubated and can tell she wants it out, but again rest and time. Thank You everyone so much for the prayers! We still have a ways to go, but are grateful for where we are. Much love, Abbi and Devin
