Great is thy Faithfulness

Praise God he made it through the cath. Dr Marshall was able to open up the blockage and put a stent in. His right ventricle has started to pump however they will need to get an echo to determine how much it’s pumping. A couple of issues have surfaced; as his right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs they are not receiving the blood well which leads the team to conclude a couple of things, there is pulmonary vein stenosis and his pulmonary hypertension in the tiny vessels is preventing adequate blood reception. The goal is to start vasodilation of the vessels so they open up and receive the blood and prevent further brain bleed. He also has fluid building up in his right lung however not all things can be tackled at once. It’s a hierarchy of what has the greatest risk to him and right now the goal is to keep him stable by helping reduce the pressures building up due to the blood not being received by the lungs as the right ventricle pumps. Preventing this pressure helps to decrease the potential for more brain bleeds.

Please pray the medication that they will use, nitric oxide works. His blood pressure remains stable, his bleeds in his brain do not get worse and his heart remains stable. Thank you for praying saints.

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word. Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
