T2E - D8

Friends and Family,

The last couple of posts I was able to tell you that while her condition was quite serious, it was at least stable. I wish that were true now.

Tonight when we returned to the ICU room, we found Trudy to be short of breath and panting...and pretty scared. Her blood pressure had been on the high side during the day, now it was running higher. The ICU doctor met me at the door to her room. He layed forth a plan to improve her breathing with the hope that other areas might be able to function more efficiently. The breathing mask was attached and did indeed help with Trudy's breathing. We have made arrangements to meet face to face with her primary care physician and her ICU physician to help us better understand medically what the concerns and strategies and options are for Trudy.

Dear ones, we are stunned with the change we saw at 8 pm tonight. I cannot report stability tonight. We don't know anything but this...God is our hope in all matters, and we know that God loves Trudy even more than we do. Please dear God, help Trudy in this her time of difficulty. Please pray as we pray and believe as we believe and faith as we faith.

Blessings,
Trudy and Robert
