Sorry this is kind of late coming. With what Mary Ann called a "blip" during the night TJ's blood pressure and sats went down. They corrected that, including putting him back on oxygen and suctioning crud out of his mouth, but it does mean another day in the ICU, which brings up another point. His white count is up a little bit too.
Nothing in the medical field is ever certain until it happens. So the doctors may very well plan to take TJ out of the ICU at such and such a time, but there is never a guarantee of results until it has happened.
Finally, TJ is continuing to become more alert and tracking with conversations. I'm hoping we have hit, or have almost hit, the real turning point on that end of things, where conditions improve quickly, but we'll see.

Happy new year TJ and all your family, We pray that this year brings you all recovery that you need to be able to serve the Lord as he wanted you to do.
Nicolas, Noha and the Ayoub Family
Dear Mary Ann, TJ, and family,
Just returned from making funeral arrangements with a family for a service I preach at 2PM tomorrow. The lady is Home with the Lord. She died, knowing Jesus. Life is enigmatic, and it doesn't stop for Christmas or New Years to get easier. But the difference for us--if we know the Lord as we all do, is that the mountains and the valleys are never ours to walk alone. Jesus walks with us every step of the way. I am praying that ICU will soon be over and that TJ will be healed, and home and convalescing without these set-backs. May God sustain you all through this slight turn again. I know He is and that He will continue to sustain you all.
Love you, and I'm praying with you for TJ's complete healing in this New Year of 2008,
Pastor Rich Carlson, Supt. IWD
