Danny Back on the Ventilator

Sad to report that Danny had to be put back on the ventilator Sunday afternoon - not because of his throat, however, but because he has a lot of lung congestion and he's too weak to cough. His oxygen level was down to 40% (should be closer to 100%) so putting him back on the vent was a necessary life-saving procedure. When Julie saw him at 3:30, he was totally sedated because they had just reinserted the vent.
Julie was able to get permission for Dave (Julie's Dad) to see Danny Sunday evening because Dave flies back to the U.S. on Tuesday and hasn't seen Danny because Dave arrived the day of Danny's surgery. A friend drove Dave to the hospital after church today. I stayed at Refuge Ranch with the kids. Appreciate so much your prayers. God is always with us through the ups and downs. He is faithful and we trust in Him. (Julie's Mom)

This is Dave. Yes, I was able to see Danny yesterday! He was heavily sedated, but when I asked him if he would like to take a walk with Grandpa when he got out of the hospital I thought he gave a slight nod. He looked good, for all that he's been through, if you can call it looking good having a feeding tube down your nose and a ventilator down your throat. I kept my visit short so Julie would have some time with Danny, which she had. It was sure great seeing the little buddy of mine. Our specific prayer is that the lung congestion clear up, along with continual improvement with all other body systems. (Julie's Dad)
