Another Change

We have heard from the hospital once again. This time a set back.

Our son is back in ICU. We really don't know exactly what is wrong. A nurse came in to check on him and do his vital signs.

His blood pressure had dropped again and he had a fever.

The last we heard they were going to do another CatScan

We as a family and our son needs you to remember us.

Thank you,

Sara

Monday, August 29, 2022

I heard from our son this morning. He sounds so much better and he says he is feeling better. He said one of the doctors talked to him last night and explained how this surgery is touch and go. She said it will take time and he might not ever get back all his bodily functions again.

They did not do fusions on his disc but cleaned out all the bacteria plus did laminectomy from T5 to T9. They took out the staples yesterday so his incision feels better as well.

He said they were supposed to move him back to a room today. We are planning on going up there this morning but of course, Cody won't go.

Thank you,

Sara

Thank you for the prayers and thoughts, Suzanne. Jr. says that he is able to come home and look after himself. He says he is coming today. I won't know until the days end if he is coming or not. I hope if he does that, he will be able to care for himself because I don't want to go through all that again. Sara

Sara get your son Chuck Swindoll's new book Clinging To Hope. It is a great read for weathering a storm and very insightful.

Sara Kendrick

Michael, Right now the future is uncertain, but I know Who holds the future. He is still there and is on our side. I just need the wisdom to be able to encourage our son in his condition because he gets discouraged and depressed. They have started him on antidepressants, but it will take two weeks for them to kick in if they work. We still need all prayers we can get. Sara
