Here is another update from Sis. Smith's blog. God is indeed working miracles! Please continue to pray.
Vicki Called!!!
She sounds like my good 'ole Sis tonight. Well, hummm it's her morning and she has slept hard for 5 hours. I'm thinking I'll beat her and sleep 6 hours tonight. We are all feeling good, Mom included.
His blood pressure dropped really low in the night. The South African team started him on blood pressure meds yesterday. The nurse just backed that down and they currently have it controlled.
He's still on the mattress chill pad to reduce his temp. He's still on the ventilator. He's still unconscious. But he is STILL STABLE! Thank the Lord! He's still on go for a feeding tube today. This is important at his age to ensure he doesn't lose muscle density.
I took a few minutes and shared some of your posts to the blog. She was so touched by each of your kindness. I've had approximately 5000 hits to the blog since this morning. Every post is going to be printed for Timothy. Vicki realizes that many of us wish we were there with him. She is going to take pics and send for the blog. Of course sometimes pics look horrible so if they turn out too bad we have opted to not post them.
Vicki said the 4:00 AM thing was was @ 11:00 am in Malawi and that was when the doctors finally felt they had him stable enough to transport. Wow! Vicki and I both shed a tear or two just recounting the nightmare we faced then.
I didn't think I'd be posting again, tonight. Hopefully this is officially it for the night. Of course if we have a little bump in the road to recovery I'll be up praying and will post for each of you to join our efforts. Vicki and Tremayne love you all and thank you so much for helping carry this load. Lauren, Micah and Chelsea feel your prayers, too!
