David passed away during the tracheostomy this morning. The cause of death is unknown at this time. They suspect a blood clot because it was so unexpected.
Please pray for God's comfort at this time.

Last evening and into this morning David's communication has remained minimal. His night nurse indicated that there was some increase in his non-verbal responses earlier this morning. I did find that, for whatever reason, David's preferred communication is the squeezing of the hand rather than nodding his head or speaking. This morning, his squeeze with his left hand was fairly strong as he responded to some specific questions about TV, people being present, etc.
The bronchoscopy this morning revealed that the stents are still in place and there is no infection. Chest X-Rays also revealed that things are ok. However, there are more secretions than yesterday and they feel David may have aspirated (getting some of the stomache contents into the lung). As a result, David's breathing has become more difficult and very rapid. They are now doing a tracheostomy, creating a more direct airway into his lung from the throat area.
Please continue to pray for David--especially requests that relate to his breathing and the effectiveness of the tracheostomy.
Thanks so much!

When I, and then a little later, Matt Keyzer got here, David seemed "zoned." He didn't give us much of a response. The nurses got him up in a chair for a while and he seemed to somewhat enjoy that.
A little later, though, Matt pulled out an old picture and we started joking and laughing.
David was smiling at our jokes and raising his eyebrows in response to things we were saying. Now he seems tired again, but it was really encouraging.
