Robbie Update

Sorry that this update is cut and paste from an email. I'm ready for bed and didn't want to type it again.

Praise the Lord/Good News:
Breathing on own
Wakes up and talks
Slurred speech
Urine is looking better (This means something good. I don't know what)
Kidney Doc signed off saying Kidneys look good

Medical conditions to pray for:
Liver - Liver Doc said that it is his opinion that Robbie's liver should regenerate itself but this is not a guarantee. This is the most crucial part right now. It could still shut down. Which is bad because he can not have a transplant b/c he is a drug addict.
Lungs - Are full of fluid which invites bacteria to grow which means that he can get pneumonia but he can't have antibiotics b/c they are processed by the liver which is not working too well.
Stomach - They took his feeding tube out but he had issues eating. It made him very ill. This could be that his stomach is still icky and isn't ready for food. If he continues to do this they will have to put it back in for a while.

Also pray for:
His attitude - I don't believe he has wrapped his mind around all that has happened. It is my opinion that he needs to know that gravity of this situation. We all really thought he was brain dead the first night.
He is also a smoker and wants to smoke. This is hard on him but I am praying that he uses this time to quit and he wants to.
He's heart (metaphorically speaking) We're not sure Robbie is saved and we are praying that we are allowed the time to share with him as well as his heart to be softened so that he can see the mess that is his life and how it affects more than just him.
My parents, especially my father - They have had a tough time. He is weakening emotionally and physically. It is actually near the first year anniversary of his second stroke. It was a small one but still. I pray for not only help for them but that they would be receptive to that help.
Lastly - That positive influences would even now begin to show up in Robbie's life and he would be open to them.

Thank you all for your prayers. I know that the Lord has heard them!
