Last night, we received confirmation of an open room for Andrew in Houston. During the night, his blood oxygen level improved slightly in answer to our prayer for strength for the journey. He was flown into Houston early this afternoon where my parents were waiting for him. As I write this, they are going in to ICU to visit him and see his condition from the trip. He's already had an x-ray since his arrival there. I'll post if any results show from that.
Doctors there have had some success with steriods at this point in such an illness. It is still a very experimental thing to do, but it is not risky to the patient. The blood sugar levels have to be monitered closely, but no complications are expected from it other than that. Andrew was put on such steriods last night right before we heard news of the room in Houston. They plan to continue this treatment now that he's arrived.
Andrew's condition remains critical, but the Lord is faithful in providing this opportunity for special treatment. Please ask the Lord for healing in Andrew's lungs that he may receive the essential oxygen for any kind of recovery to take place. Pray also for my parents who are now away from home in such a time of uncertainty.
Much love to you all,
Sarah
