Thread: FIL in hosp again

My prayers are with you.

They have the wound vac on him and it's working wonders, BUT the third-spacing has increased and his lungs keep filling with fluids. He's now in Intensive Care and they've intubated him (put him on a ventilator for his breathing). His fluid output is not good because it never seems to pass through his kidneys into his bladder. They've talked about starting albumin therapy on him but haven't yet because they're worried it will exacerbate his cardiovascular disease.

Some of the doctors seem to be of the opinion that he'll likely not survive this. My wife is clearly distraught over this. We appreciate your continued prayers.

I hope you all find strength in the love you bear for each other. My thought are with you.

I guess he´s going through multi-organ failure. They´re deciding whether or not to put him on dialysis. It sounds like he´s coming to the end.

Prayers and thoughts are with you and your wife during all of this, Glen.

Glen,

My prayers are with you and your wife. I know these are difficult times for everyone involved. When my MIL passed away a few months ago we found Hospice provided great comfort to us as the end neared... they were helpful in so many ways. If you haven't talked to them yet, I urge you to do so... they can provide great emotional support to both your FIL and you/your wife.

I will certainly be praying for you, Glen. Your going on my Wall-o-prayer my friend.
Actually I don't have a wall-o-prayer, but I do have a white board in my office and I will put you up to remind me to pray for you. God bless you and your family.

Last night, at 22:30 (10:30 p.m) Eastern US time, My Father In Law passed away.

Thank you to everyone who held him up in prayer.
