Gary just called with the latest on Dylan. Today, doctors discovered a urinary tract infection, which they believe is the likely cause of his blood pressure problems, rather than the dialysis. Because of this, there is some discussion about continuing the dialysis longer.
However, the infection is definitely a setback. The doctors plan to use antibiotics and fluids to flush it out of Dylan's system, but because of the problems with his liver, the infection is more serious than it would be in someone with a healthy liver.
On a positive note, Dylan is sleeping now and has been for the past hour. This is good, since he hasn't slept in two days.
Let's pray for Dylan to continue to get sleep and for this infection to go away.
Thanks,
Kyle

Hang in there! Know that you are unable to do anything apart from the strength and power of God, and then trust in Him. We love you, and we prayed for you all during the weekend youth retreat. One girl from Gethsemene Baptist was saved Sunday Morning! We all love you and we miss you.
Gary, let me know if there is anything I can do for you either at your home or at the church. If yall need anything just let me know - I'd love to be able to serve you some how.
