Summary Part Three: The Caveats (Sickest Man in the Hospital)

Most of the news that has been posted today has been good news, and we praise the Lord for that. However, we want to make sure that you still properly understand TJ's position.

TJ has no margin whatsoever, a fever could be enough to set him off balance send him spiraling downwards. As could any other development that adds stress to his system.

The mitral valve could still be a big problem (although the doctors are more optimistic now than they were at the time of that post.) Hence our request for a miraculous healing of the heart.

Septic shock, secondary infections, spreading pneumonia, or not controlling the infection are still real possibilities, all of which negatively affect the balance. Right now, we just have to wait and see what happens.

We were trying to come up with the appropriate words to describe TJ's condition, I'll just list them instead of trying to tie them all into a sentence:

  • fragile
  • delicate
  • dangerous condition
  • sensitive balance
Really, to summarize, Mary Ann says, "He is probably sickest person in hospital, and probably has been for a few days."

Next post, Prayer Requests
