Adam says the atmosphere in the hospital room is very positive today. The doctor came by last night after I spoke with Teesa. The doctors think that there is a good possibility that the problem can be corrected remotely. They have still not turned on the part of the device that sends the shocks, because they want to be sure they have corrected the problem before they turn it back on. Sometime today one of their doctors plans to talk with the manufacturer of the software to get his input on the situation. If the doctors are confident that the problem is corrected, they could turn on the "shocking" part of the device later today. If the problem cannot be corrected remotely, they will have to do another surgery to change the lead or replace the whole unit. Last night the doctor also gave Bill and Teesa detailed instructions of how and when to use the magnetic "donut" to turn off Sam's defibrillator in an emergency.
All the Klears slept hard and well last night. Sam's swelling is going down. He was able to nurse the morning and had a pretty good appetite. Sam will be in the hospital at least until Sunday, under the observation of the doctors. Please continue to pray that Sam will not need further surgery and that his body will continue to heal well. Pray for wisdom and insight for the doctors and technical personnel that are working on Sam's defib issue. Pray for Teesa's continued improvement, for Bill's strength, and for rest for all the Klears.
Teesa also asks that you pray for Justin and his son, Micah. Micah is about 7 or 8 months old and will be having surgery today to give him a portion of Justin's liver. They will be performing the surgery at Duke.
Thank you so much for your continued involvement with us in prayer and encouragement.
