Jack update

Jack had a stable 12 hours! He really needs a good 24 more. Yesterday
was difficult. The surgeon was called out of the OR so that he could
consider emergency surgery for Jack. Jack was failing, although you
wouldn't have known it just looking at him. His oxygen levels dropped
way down. Before that event it had been a fairly good day. This drop
could have been caused by any one of dozen factors low bp, vasospasm,
a clot, a vent obstruction, a collapsed lung, a failing stent ... etc.
He ended up back in surgery with a better stent and cleared lungs and
a boatload of new stresses on his heart. Afterward the nurses set us
up with a hospital bed and asked us to stay close. He kept scaring
them through the night, maybe now that is all behind us.

We continue to be impressed by the staff here, our surgeon and nurses.
We watch as they huddle together for hour long reports on his
progress. We feel like he is getting the best care possible!

We have been so touched by everyone who has reached out to us. Knowing
that Jack has prayers coming from all over the country continues to
amaze us! Thank you and keep it up! We know that our great God is
hearing us.
