Well, third time was not the charm and they've had to remove the third tube. It had a small kink and when the nurse un-kinked it, he bled all over. So, they are giving him more vitamin K and more plasma (I've been spelling that wrong) and are going to consult with the doctor about a plan. The ammonia level is still way too high. So, please pray that the doctors will come up with a working solution to get this medicine into Tom's stomach so that it can absorb the ammonia. This will help the liver, kidneys, etc. and he'll be a lot more alert. He's resting now and we're going to let him continue to nap - he pretty much told us he's not interested in talking to us anyway.
Debbie made it back safely and we're thankful for that. Our friend Mrs. Hefley passed away peacefully this morning. Please keep her family in your prayers.
