I hate to report that today was another rough one, but it kind of was. Andrew did not sleep at all last night and not much today until about 3pm. They finally had to sedate him to get him to sleep. He's quite agitated and he's had a pretty high fever today. He does have a "normal" infection due to having a catheter and has strong antibiotics for that. Visitors are completely restricted now due to that and we now have to wear gloves and those paper gown things for our own protection rather than his. It will be this way until that passes. They are really trying hard to get him off the ventilator by Thursday or Friday at the latest. I'm told he can't be on the vent for more than 14 days. Due to his state of agitation and lack of rest, they did not assess his senses today, so I don't have news there. He seems to have slipped a little and it's just so vital that we continue lifting him in prayer. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers . . . that will see us through this. Let's pray for a better day tomorrow (one day at a time). Good night and God Bless. Joye
