Tuesday July 29, 2008

Hello everyone. We just wanted to pass the latest news on to everyone. Yesterday, Kirk had some excessive bleeding come through the tube that they placed into his liver to drain the enzymes. The tube had become displaced and was drawing the blood out of his abdomen. They took him back into surgery and put the tube back into place. They also shut off the blood supply to his spleen so he would stop loosing blood through it. His blood count was actually up a little yesterday from the day before. He was put on a venilator for the procedure and is still on it this morning. They are weening him off of it a little at time.

Laura said that he is sedated but very comfortable and seems to be resting well. Keep him in your prayers as well as Laura and the boys. She and Jamie (Kirk's sister) have been with him around the clock for the past few days and I am sure they are both exausted.

We will let you know as soon as anything changes. Keep the comments coming. I will be printing them and take them to him as soon as he is awake.

Monica
