Dylan has had a rough couple of nights and is very uncomfortable. Please pray that he gets some restful sleep.  Dylan's blood pressure has been elevated today and the doctors are going to try to lower it with medicine. If they can't then Dylan will have to be taken off dialysis as this is a major contributor to causing the blood pressure to rise. The doctors were planning on taking Dylan off dialysis tomorrow, Monday 4/28 and see how his kidneys perform. If Dylan remains at a constant weight then fluid is not being stored and the kidney is working well. Please pray that if Dylan is taken off dialysis whether it is today or Monday that the kidneys will function on their own.  Also last night Dylan pulled the feeding tube out from his nose and the doctors just put it back in at noon. He will have to undergo an x-ray to make sure it is positioned in the proper place. Dylan keeps asking when he is going home. Gary and Debbie are trying to explain to him that he is going to be here for a while. Due to Dylan's clouded state he is having trouble processing this truth. Continue to pray for Gary and Debbie's strength: emotionally, physically and spiritually to be steadfast in their faith and the Lord.
