Update Everyone!

~an ultrasound was just done. His right lung isn't working as hard as his left lung. We won't hear results till later this afternoon and they seem quite concerned.

~He had a good night sleep, and his oxygen cap is now off.

~He is on half the mophine so he is awake more and more. Today they hope to wean him off the morphine.

~When Marvin and Hannie came in this morning he was sleeping, but awoke when they started talking. He opened his eyes and looked at them. It was a very special moment for them all!

~He loves his green coloured hankie (as you can see on the pictures) and loves it even more when Hannie or the nurses rubs it against his face. He can't play with it yet as his hands are tied down so he won't pull on the wires and tubes.

(I should ask Marv how many times he has won
since it is Roll up the rim to win!)


'Til the storm passes over, 'til the thunder sounds no more,

'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,

Hold me fast, Let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand;

Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.

Thanks for keeping us updated on Gerad - hopefully the issue with his lungs turns out alright. Wish we were there. Hugs and Kisses for Gerad.
