First night of testing

Teesa called after she, Bill and Sam spent a little time in the play room. The results of the first night of testing with the detector set to its highest sensitivity produced no double counting of heartbeats. So, the doctor reset the sensitivity this afternoon to the "take home" setting and that will be monitored over night. If that shows no double counts, the plan is to turn the therapy side of the defib on tomorrow and monitor the whole device working together for 48 hours.

The general atmosphere is positive, but all (Sam included) are functioning in a state of exhaustion. Sam has not been napping well, and is having more pain, especially at the IV port in his arm. Bill and Teesa have interruptions to their sleep during the night. It is an extremely stressful time for the entire family, but it is such a testimony to see the entire family coming together in this situation to minister to each other.

Teesa has especially asked for prayer for rest--for Sam to nap well and for she and Bill to get sound rest while they sleep at night. Pray that the Spirit's presence will help to ease the stress that Bill and Teesa (as well as their extended families) are experiencing. Pray also for Sam's pain, especially concerning the IV port. Please also pray for the tests on the defib to give the doctors an accurate picture of how the device is working, so they can detect further issues before Bill and Teesa take Sam home.

Thank you all for your continued prayer support!
