Update on Josiah Pimentel:
CAT scan showed Colitis & inflamed gallbladder. Treating him with antibiotics and pain meds today. Tomorrow he will have his pic line put in.(under sedation, of course) so that he can begin to get some nutrition in his system again. They don’t want him to eat any food as the colon is soooooo inflamed. He did rest well today thanks to the pain meds. Tonight his fever did go up again, but they feel that is due to the colitis. Last night around 2:30 am his fever spiked and they had to take blood immediately to see if there was infection. His veins are so beat up they had to draw from his foot…this was not well received by the little man already in enough pain. Pray he can avoid that tonight!. Three most major prayer requests (goals before he can go home). There must be a cessation of pain without meds, he must have a close to normal stool and he must be able to eat. The dr’s aren’t too optimistic that these goals will be met until sometime next week, but we know we serve an incredible God. So, please, pray with me that he will show dramatic improvement and even be able to return home by Sunday!
Teresia has asked me to pass on a huge THANK YOU to all of you who are praying. It really means so much to her!!! – Beth Bjerklund
