It's Lisa's friend, Margaret. Here's what is going on...
Naomi's infection has slightly decreased with her temperature going from 104-101. White blood cell count has decreased. Vital signs continue to be stable. Blood in her urine is lessening. Naomi's kidneys and liver are better. The lungs are slightly better.
Regarding the heart, they're decreasing the heart medication; her heart has been responding positively to that. However, the doctor wants to put a pump in the heart to stabilize it, as this would give the heart a rest. It's been found to help people improve. They hope to stabilize the heart within 24 hours with this "pump" treatment. IF there are no improvements, they recommend a heart transplant.
Lisa's prayer requests:
1. That Naomi's heart would heal on its own.
2. Or for the treatment to make her heart improve within 24 hours.
3. That there would be no cardiac arrest or complications. 4. That the infection would go away.
Lisa is still at the hospital, praying with loving devotion for her sister. I wish I had a picture of her to show you.For those of you who have never met Naomi or seen a picture of her, she has the same warm and fun-loving smile as Lisa.
Lisa wants you to know that your prayers at this time mean everything to her. Lisa once told me that is one of the best ways to demonstrate love to someone is to pray for them. So let's keep praying together, knowing our God is in control. Remember, "He can move the mountains; our God is mighty to save." If we feel weak (to have faith or pray), note that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us"
Romans 8:37.
Blessings upon blessings to you for your love, friendship and prayers at this time,
Margaret (for Lisa)
