I have been in touch with Marida's daughter and here is the latest update on her from last night:
Things happen so fast in the hospital:) First of all, THE GI TUBE IS OUT!!!!!!!!! The nurse said that if it came out on the third day, that it would be a miracle. Well, we just witnessed a miracle! Mom is so happy that it is out. Mom was so much more comfortable today. Also, her fever broke; her blood pressure was stable today, so she was able to sit up in a chair for awhile!! Basically, she got up, the tube came out, her blood pressure stayed up, and her fever came down -- all of the things that you so safefully prayed for!!
NOW, we need to pray for the infection in her right lung. The chest x-ray shows a small spot of pneumonia. If she can cough more, this will clear up. Her blood/oxygen level needs to be at 92 or higher. It has pretty consistently been at 88-89, until the nurses work on her for awhile making her cough, which hurts. SO...let's pray that she can cough a lot and get that level above 92. She also needs to get up and get walking, which will be hard and will probably happen tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your faithfulness in prayer.
Love,
Donna
