Dave, my brother is back in the ICU on a ventilator. He has fever and a respiratory infection. He is on a 3rd generation antibiotic and is heavily sedated. He gets easily confused and combative. They don’t want him to pull out his IV lines or his tubes.
He is over the DTs but has alcoholic liver disease. This causes a high blood pressure in the liver system which enlarged the spleen. The enlarged spleen chews up and destroys his platelets so that he is at risk for bleeding. He has atrial fibrillation which normally requires anticoagulants to prevent stroke. He has not taken his meds for a long time. His former wife is looking for a long term facility for Dave when he’s able to leave hospital.
May the Lord minister His peace to my dear brother, as well as all who care for and love him. And, may His will and purposes be accomplished even in these days, in Jesus’s Name amen 🙏🏻
