Today started out ok but the numbers soon dwindled. Getting jerry's oxygen up to an ok level was a struggle and he had to be put on BiPap which is a forced oxygen mask.

The real problem now is that his blood pressure...usually somewhere between the high 80's and low 90's over 50's......is in the low 80's and bounce down to the mid 70's over 30-40's.....In order to keep it higher, we can't give pain meds, or give him the warming blanket and the head of the bed needs to be lower than the foot of the bed. He is alert, but keeps his eyes mostly closed as he is cold and very tired. A miracle could turn things around maybe. Thankfully, Mark and Michelle have been here all day Monday and most of today.

I'll be reporting daily until there is a major change one way or another...of course Jerry's always told me that he'll be fine, no matter how things turn out.......he is a fine, strong man who won't give up. So neither will we nor his doctors or nurses. More soon. Thanks for your continued thoughts, prayers, etc.

We love you!

Sorry it's been a couple of days...what day is it, again??


It was a rough night....quite a few icky numbers....scary! Now, however, the doctor is taking a different direction. His belly was accumulating fluids and pushing up on his lungs keeping him from easy breathing. They drained 2 and a half liters of fluid from him today. He's still on dialysis around the clock and his numbers are holding. He is so much more comfortable, too with the fluid gone. We will again try food tonite and see how it goes. We have a long, rough road ahead of us if he is to leave the hospital. So we patiently (or not too patiently, sometimes) take just one minute, one hour, one day at a time, holding God's hand.....or letting him hold us in His hands! I have a bed to sleep on in his room now so getting better rest, except for last night! Our kids are here everyday and my sisters and sister in law are here or running errands for me daily. Thanks for your prayers and wishes. Though Jerry's not up to visitors, I'd love to hear from you via email or phone anytime.


Thanks for standing with us!


Love,


Betty Lou
