David was breathing a lot faster this morning. They gave him pain medications and then were giving him a breathing treatment. When Lydia and I went to go back into the room, the doors were closed and there was a whole crowd in there.

The doctor came out to talk to us after a little bit. His blood pressure dropped and he is now on 2 medications (epi and Levaphin drops) to maintain the blood pressure. His fluids and electrolytes are off (something very difficult to manage with any very ill person). He has a metabolic problem, but they are also wondering about a heart problem. They are going to do an echo in a little bit to check out his heart.

Psalm 34:1-4 (thank you, Mandy, for sending that to Lydia)

^{1 [a]} I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.

² My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

³ Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
