Update 4/22 9:30am

Gary just called and said that the doctors are putting Dylan in ICU this morning because of breathing problems. Because he is retaining so much fluid, part of which has begun to build up in his lungs, Dylan's breathing is very labored at this time. The doctors will use another dialysis treatment to remedy this, although one was not originally scheduled for today. Currently, Dylan is only able to use a portion of his lungs for breathing, so we need to pray that the dialysis treatment would be effective at removing the rest of the fluid from his lungs. Please join us in praying for Dylan in this way today.

Also, although they still had to stay up most of the night with Dylan, Gary and Debbie were able to get about 3.5 hours of sleep last night. Let's pray for opportunities for them to get more sleep soon!

Gary and Debbie both want to express how much they appreciate all of your prayers and support. It really means a lot to them. Thanks!

Kyle
