Blood Pressure Levels

Luke's BP levels were fluctuating even after the morning episode. We had requested prayer, and all of you were praying for us. Since about 5pm, it had started to steady around 90, which is great. Praise God!! Thank you CCC and Luke's friends all over the country and the world for praying for our trooper. Your prayers continue to lift Luke up and please keep them as desperate and as fervent as possible -- "then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause" 2 Chr 2:35

I'm praying that we will have an uneventful night and Luke continues to improve. Let's believe together that in the next couple of days... Luke will be off the ventilator, be able to off load over 3 liters of liquid from the body (right liquid balance), continue to have good liver functions, no viruses or flu symptoms, steady bp, and a downgrade from ICU -- Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24

Also, please pray for all the children here at the hospital and all around the world that are fighting for their lives. I see the stress of the fellow parents-- they are fighting a good fight with courage. Some of these children have never seen the day light. Parents have fought long and hard, and are weary tonight. Please pray that God will send comfort and strength.
