Update for Sunday 5/4

Dylan continues with successful Dialysis today. They have increased the level to 150ml from 8oml yesterday and fluid is slowly being removed. Dylan is breathing on his own although the tube for the ventilator is still in his mouth just in case they have to put it back suddenly. They hope to have it all taken out tomorrow if Dylan stays strong in his blood pressure and breathing. He is much more alert & awake today and feels a little of the pain from all the remaining fluid still left in his body. The doctors may stick a needle into Dylan to help released more fluid quicker, but they are cautious because this could cause more unnecessary bleeding. So far, Dialysis is working great, but it is very slow because of the past drop in blood pressure. Dylan is certainly NOT out of the woods but at least he is not experiencing any set backs for the last 2 days. There is still the question of another liver biopsy on Tuesday should Dylan be strong enough for this procedure. We need to continue to pray for the whole family as they wait upon the Lord, doctors, results and the unknowns. Have a Blessed day in the Lord ... Isaiah 41:10!

Gary, Debbie, and Dylan,
You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers since we received the
1st prayer request from Trinity. I sent out a prayer request to some of our family & friends and just the other day, my neice sent me this web blog with updates on Dylan that she received through her church! Please know there are many people praying for your family. May the Lord continue to bless you and strengthen you in the days ahead.
Love in Christ, Denny & Carol Anne
