Gene has not been feeling well today. He is running a temperature, and is feelinlg lethargic. He was working so hard on his breathing that they have increased his pressure to make it less tiresome for him. He has developed some bruises on his arms that seem not to be related to his PIC lines, Emily has not been able to find out what has caused them.
Emily visited him this morning, late this afternoon, and is planning to spend the night in his room tonight. She is very concerned about his lethargy and his infection. She insisted today that they nurses help her elevate him more and she kept him in a more elevated position for about forty minutes. There is a delicate line - it is better for his breathing for him to be more elevated, but it is better for the pressure wound healing for him to be lying down.
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene to have strength, for his respiration to improve, for his body to fend off the infection, and for him to have courage. Pray for Emily to have the strength and courage to do the things she needs to do.
