Holding his own

Well since Ron was pretty stable all yesterday, we decided we needed to go back to work today. Please feel free to visit Ron at Botsford Hospital in Farmington HIll. He currently is in room 154 in the Critical Care Unit. Please - if you are sick - stay home. but he does enjoy visits even for only a few minutes. He needs his rest as well.

I spoke to the nurses this morning and he was still maintaining his own blood pressure with out medicine, and she noted he did decent with the dialysis yesterday (being sedated). So we are happy. My dad is up there now and I'll have an update later today.

Please continue prayers that Ron will be pain free and at peace - no matter what the outcome may be. That is what we want, him to be pain free and if possible to come home (nursing home or heaven).

Ron's very strong - so there is a good possibility he can pull through, but it will be a long haul. His body is just failing in many different systems. The doctors don't know much more of things to do - right now it may appear the ventilator is helping keep Ron alive.

Thanks for all the prayers and we will continue to update as major changes happen.
Gail
