Brief Update

I didn’t go with Patti to the hospital today, so the report will be brief. Rebecca and her girls took her, so I’m hoping to get a more in-depth report from her when she gets a chance.

What Patti did tell me is that Daniel does have an infection. He had a fever of 101 last night and it was 99 when they saw him today. He’s back on oxygen and he was barely audible today.

They ran some tests on him this afternoon fearing he may have blood clots in his legs. They don’t know either way on what the answer is until the tests come back. So, be praying he does not have blood clots as that will be very bad news.

Patti asked him if he knew who she was and he said very softly, “Patti”. She asked who she was to him and he said “wife”. When she asked if he knew who Stephanie was, he said “baby”. Jared was in a balloon and she couldn’t remember what he answered for Trevor. So, his short term memory is very off today.

That’s basically all I got. He’ll stay in Redwood City until the fever goes away and if the blood clots come back negative. If all goes well, he may be moved to Vallejo as soon as Thursday.

Be praying that he would get over the infection quickly and that he does not have blood clots. Pray for his short term memory to return and that he would be able to be conscious of his surroundings. Pray that the move to Vallejo would be soon and would be the start to a speedy return to home for him. Thank you, everyone!
