Good morning, all. We just got to the hospital and talked to Gary. Turns out there's some more good news this morning. The dialysis was effective at removing some fluid from Dylan's lungs, and the hope is that as it continues to run today, more will be removed. According to Gary, Dylan is more alert and able to recognize them.
The feeding tube that doctors planned to insert has not been inserted yet b/c doctors are planning to do a bronchoscopy today as well. Because both of these procedures require sedation, the doctors want to do them both at once and only sedate Dylan one time. Pray that the feeding tube will provide the nutrition Dylan needs to regain some strength. Doctors will also do an EKG this morning. Will let you know once we hear the results from that.
The nurses told Gary that Dylan rested very well last night, and Gary observed that he seems much more comfortable. The fact that he rested is a very good thing b/c he hasn't gotten much more sleep than Gary and Debbie these past few days. Along those lines, Gary and Debbie were also able to sleep well last night and get some much-needed rest. He greeted us with a smile today and seemed to be refreshed. Let's pray that God will allow them several more nights of rest like this. I'm sure they're still operating with a big sleep deficit. Thanks again for your prayers and encouragement for them.

Dylan, Debbie, and Gary,
We're glad to hear that all of you were able to get some rest. It's also good to hear that the dialysis is proving to be beneficial for Dylan's lungs. We'll be in prayer for the success of the procedures the doctor's want to perform. We love you guys.
