Hey
Me and little Matt just went to see our daddy this morning. He looks a little better than he has been the past few days, this probably has something with him being less sedated.
The nurse and doctors talked to us this morning. His white blood cell count was down to 28 which means that the antibiotics are helping! They gave him more vancomycin this morning. His ICP (brain pressure) levels have been more steady and they said when they are draining the fluid, it is only like 3 mL instead of like 10 or 20 as it was before.
He is still yellow looking. They said they got way less fluid from his lungs today and yesterday. Last night when we were in there the respiratory person came in to check on him and to suction out his lungs and it came back with hardly anything. When she listened she said she didn't hear alot of fluid in his lungs - which is a good thing!
Anyway - I am keeping this brief. Thank you for all the cards that keep coming in, the people that keep calling and checking on us and on dad. We love you all.
Love Meg

Praise God! These are encouraging things, small but very encouraging, healing is going to be one small precious step at a time. Take joy in the Lord for He is good. God wants us to praise Him even in our times of trouble, and I believe He is very pleased with the way you and your family are handling all of this. We appreciate all of the blogs and the love your not affraid to express to all of us for your Dad and Mom. You have our continued prayers. Sallie, Scott & Noah Keaton
I was sent this blog by another Original Limu Wholesale member.
Shane and Rene Dees have asked us to pray for Bradley and his family.
You will all be lifted in prayer to the Almight Soverign Great Physician for complete healing. I read many of the postings and see the progress is slow but steady. Another thing I see clearly is that you lean on your faith in God. He has blessed you with many friends. I have been in a similar situation with my brother and the days are long and cut into segments of "when the doctors come and when you wait for the doctors to come" I will check your blog and praise God with you for each step toward the restored health of Bradley. God Bless and keep you.
