Today was very uneventful for Mike. They DID NOT do the trach or the feeding tube today. Ericka felt like they would delay it because they had previously warned her that the procedure could be bumped back a day. So hopefully, they will do those procedures tomorrow (Thursday).
Mike has been running a fever all day long...hovering around 103.
Overall, it was what Ericka termed as restful for Mike. No changes, not much activity.
So today's prayer requests: Just keep praying for healing. Pray that if they do the tracheotomy, it will go smoothly without incident. The same for the feeding tube.
Ericka is still doing great and has as positive an attitude as possible. Please just pray that her and Kevin and the rest of the family will continue to have strength.
There have many blessings so far in this. Mike is alive, he didn't have to lose his spleen, he is stable now.....and the list goes on. Let's keep praising the positive blessings for Ericka.
Thanks to all of you for your continued support and prayers.
