Up and Down

Matt's day was up and down. He stared throwing up this am and they are worried it is the tube feeding. May still consider a surgical tube in his intestine from the outside of his body. Like Matt says, just another place for infection. Little worried about it so need prayers for guidance. Because of his throwing up, they did not get him in his chair today, but the did convert his bed so he could sit up in bed. He did three breathing trials, 30, 40, 45. They really had to push him with the 3rd one, was extremely tired but dad and mom were both there cheering him on. They also gave him some ativan to help relax him, but it really made him more groggy for the rest of the day. They will insert a PICC line tomorrow, a IV line in his antecubital space or elbow joint which goes into a vessel just above his heart. The IV line on his arm blew and he had major swelling. Hopefully he will have on of the chest tubes removed tomorrow,and then one each of the next 2 consecutive days. Noted also to have swelling in his feet, retaining more fluid then normal. Pray it is not his kidneys. God can accomplish all things, beyond our comprehension. What is impossible for us is possible with God. 2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day".
