James' medical condition is unchanged over the last few days. His kidneys are functioning at 15 - 20% so he has not required dialysis in nearly four weeks. His pain medication dosage is being tapered down and is currently at 10% of what his peak dosage had been. Yesterday he was completely off the ventilator for 10 hours and today was a long session as well. The tracheotomy prevents him from eating, drinking and talking which is very frustrating for him so he anxiously looks forward to the day he is weaned off completely. Our biggest prayer request right now is for his psychological/emotional and spiritual condition. He is very discouraged. He is processing everything that has happened to him over the past five months all at once. Please pray for him to know the peace of Christ which surpasses all human understanding, that he would know the comfort and love of our compassionate and merciful Lord, and that all who care for him would be sensitive to his concerns during this time.
