Dear Family and Friends,
Dr Johnson did another bronchoscopy this afternoon to confirm what he suspected from the chest x-ray. The stent had migrated almost to the throat area and had to be removed.
We are thankful that even though David is no longer receiving the paralytic medication, he is still allowing the ventilator to breathe for him without fighting it. He is resting quietly under sedation and is to remain so until the two new stents arrive Tuesday morning for placement.
We are of course disappointed and remain concerned about the high White Blood count which indicates a probable infection. (At this point they do not know where.)
Please pray that we continue to focus our eyes on Jesus and remain steadfast in our faith that God is able and willing to do miracles.

Thank you SO much for your posts....it really does help us to know HOW to pray for David. We're praying for the placement of those 2 stents on Tuesday, and that they can find out where the infection is, and treat it.
ReplyDeleteKaren & the whole Keyzer Family,
ReplyDeleteSometimes things like this happen to allow God to show just how much faith we have for Him in times when we need Him the most. I still remain confident that He will keep His promises to you and yours.
Fear not, DaVid is in good hands and on the mend.
Grateful for the updates
Jeff
