Bro. Dale is starting to wake up some, but he is having a hard time staying awake. The doctors said that the medication is probably still in his system some and he will have a difficult time staying awake until it is all out of his system. He is breathing on his own now, so that is very good! The scan this morning showed that there is still no change in the swelling. No increase or decrease. Keep praying that the swelling will go down.
He's still running a low grade fever. They aren't having to give him medication to control the fever. They have a blanket that they put on him that is regulating that. They did start him on antibiotics to prevent any infection from developing.
The surgeon said he's pleased with the movement on his right side. The dr. said he's making slow and steady progress. They want to keep him in ICU for another week.
Out of our love and concern for Bro. Dale, we want to see the speedy, miraculous recovery. But God is working His miracles slow and steady, as He is much more prone to do. We are thankful that God is the Healer and the Author of life and we can trust Him.
"10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized." Hebrews 6:10-11
thank the good Lord for the improvement. always in my prayers. mitzi baecher
