11:45 Pm - Stephen had a hard day today, but he is resting better right now. He had a fever earlier today, but it is okay right now. He is on a low dosage of insulin but his blood sugar is looking better. We are waiting on results of other blood numbers. He is also on diflucan which is a fungal type medicine that is common in patients on a ventilator. Stephen has to be turned every several hours and this is difficult for him as he has had mucous in his lungs and sinuses. His breathing has been very labored throughout the day during these times. They are having to turn the ventilator up to compensate for this. His blood pressure and pulse are staying stable. The doctors and nurses are trying to keep Stephen as comfortable as possible. Please pray that the Lord guides all of us and gives us wisdom in all decisions for Stephen. - Jeff

  1. God hold your Stephen in your loving arms, and make him well, that he may recover so he and I, and Mrs. Valerie Galanis can all go to a movie soon (as I promised him). Thank you, Lord.
