I spoke w/ Michelle at length today. She is holding up, grateful for sleep, for support and prayer… and of course she is also immersed in so many emotions. Her heart is for Steve, and the boys. The boys continue to be well cared for.
On the medical side, Michelle had an additional update she wanted to get out:
“Additional prayer requests for Steve. I saw Steve this a.m. Much the same, however his temperature is slightly elevated, sputum a bit tan, and white blood count slightly elevated. No cause for alarm yet but please pray for protection against infection and that he would remain stable and strong for surgery on Monday. Also they have been unable to insert feeding tube yet due to swelling and position of his neck in the brace. Nutrition will make Steve stronger. There is some small sign that swelling has gone down a bit, so praying that they can insert tube successfully today. With thanks always for your prayers.”
