My cousin is still hanging in there.
For those of you that didn't see my post a week or so ago, he is 47 years old and has Staph Infection in his urine, blood and lungs. He also has Double Pneumonia, Collapsed Lung, A blood clot in his neck and in his leg.
Yesterday he crashed and came out of it. They put a chest tube in and it wasn't working so they put another one in and both were working fine until this morning when the original quit working. They were going to take it out and put a new one in a rib lower. He spiked a fever of 103. He is also on a ventilator and very heavily sedated.
How he made it through yesterday I have no idea. God must not be ready for him yet and must not have a place prepared for him.
We are pretty close and it hurts me to see him suffer. I hate to see what his quality of life is going to be if he makes it through. I don't think he will have much.
Please keep him in your prayers. I took two days off to be at the hospital and today I'm trying to get laundry etc done.
I will keep updating as I can
