Testing Time

Dad should be coming out of stroke sleep at this time, but today he's looking more sleepy. The nurses have told us that there is a possibility that he could stay in his current state indefinitely. They're also talking about performing a tracheotomy and inserting a feeding tube into his side which would allow the ventilator and feeding tube to be removed from his mouth. They're currently weening him off the ventilator, in an attempt to remove it, but this will only be successful if Dad can safely swallow on his own.

Dad is scheduled for another CT scan at 3:30pm and the neurologist wants to speak to us all this evening. Of course, I'm asking for your prayers. We are not accepting a long term care scenario. Instead we are believing for abundant life however our sovereign God provides that, but we are trusting for a whole and well Dad. Jesus is the resurrection and the life.
