First 24 hours with therapy side activated

There were no alerts from the defibrillator since they turned on the therapy side yesterday. The doctor's tested the pacemaker portion of the device today and as a whole the defib seems to be working properly. They will continue to monitor the defib overnight and if Bill, Teesa and the doctor's are comfortable with the results, Sam could be discharged tomorrow. If they are not comfortable, Sam could be in the hospital up to two more days (discharge on Thursday). Please continue to pray for Sam's healing and for the issue with the defib to truly be corrected.

Last night the Klears had a terrible night and got no sleep--Constant interruptions and poor little Sam with gassy tummy issues. The doctors did have the IV port removed, so that point of irritation and pain should be getting better now. Sam continues to nurse and eat solids well.

Teesa asks once again specifically for prayer for rest. (Of course exhaustion increases the stress level of an already stressful situation.) Thank you for taking the time to continually lift up Sam, Bill and Teesa, and their extended families in prayer.

Mark and I are continuing to pray for you three. We can pray with "knowledge" as we remember the nights in the hospital with our own daughter..and the fitful sleep we all got. We found that reading the Psalms aloud (any of it or the highlighted parts, if you highlight in your Bible)...helped us rest. It put us all in the resting mode. We love you, Mark and Kandy

We are constantly praying for ya'll, esp in the area of rest. I'm going to see if you need another meal. I'll call Lauree.
We love ya'll
