Update #53

Just talked to Dave's parents. The tubes were inserted fine, and his chest tube is draining well. But according to the doctor, "Dave is very sick." He does have a new infection (in addition to the abscess, as a result of it, related to it - I'm not sure), so they are running tests to see what the bacteria is. He has already been started on a new antibiotic, and they are trying to treat the infection very aggressively like they have in the past. I don't have a whole lot of info right now, but please be praying tons. More details as I get them...

His Spirit, His will, His peace, His glory,

Kendahl,

We all love you and are praying for you and Dave.

We are very thankful that the doctors now know what is causing Dave's pain and swelling (the blood clot, infection, and fluid) because they now know how best to treat him. :)

Enjoy every special blessing big or small that the Lord sends your way, the smile or hug from one of your kids, an uplifting email or blog from a friend, an e-card for Dave, or a butterfly fluttering on the breeze. Cherish all of these as examples of the Lord's love and presence with you and Dave.

Kendahl, I love you sooo much and am a better person because I know you. I am truly blessed to call you my friend.

Love,
Liz, Mike, Meghan, David, Molly, Emma, and Isabelle
