Update:

Update....
Pray and pray ?????? surgery Friday.
So he had a pretty stable okay day. Only had one panic attack today. His white count went down. His red count has been good since he got blood products in the OR the other day. This morning he didnt look very good. He has had his dialysis stopped since surgery yesterday morning. His numbers kept going up so they put him back on crrt dialysis. Which is good cause he was not looking good this am. He aspirated this afternoon on yogurt. So they stopped him eating/drinking and only giving him tube feeds. He had a panic attack this afternoon after his aspiration but he was able to control it. His pain has calmed down but he is on a good amount of medication. Hopefully friday during surgery they can switch to lidocaine. To get rid of some of his pain medications.
His lungs this morning are looking better. They will continue to keep chest tube in till end of week. He is at least hacking up all the "Afghanistan ****" as he says. After he aspirated his lungs got worse. He is working with it though.
He called me "chatty kathy and Nancy nurse" today so he still has his sense of humor.
Knox man had a great day at Zion. So proud of him. Love him so much. Thank you to all who love him!!
Thankful for the good Lord, my family and friends for getting me through the horrible no good days and good days.
This is a rollercoater and a marathon. Thank you to all who are in it with me.

Afghanistan namely Kabul has terrible air quality.   The burn pits the military uses to dispose of "stuff" cause lung problems.   If anyone is interested in learning more  go to www.Huntersevenfoundation.org

My son coughs alot from the air.   He gets tired of me asking him if he is sick.   I believe the coughing is the result of breathing in all that toxic air in Afghanistan.    

When Asia refers to the Afghanistan sh*t that is what she is referring to.   Thank you for your prayers!

Update from Sunday night 9/15/19

“Update.. pretty good day. Pray and pray they are working.
They got him in a chair and wheeled him around the floor again. Again being that he doesn't have a right pelvic or right hip it's very difficult. He was in a lot of pain so he couldn't make it 2 full hours. He tired his best.
His left lung is not great on xray still but has a little break in it with clearness on the top. His chest tube is still in and getting rid of fluid. He is still on breathing treatments and will continue to do that.
His kidneys are still trying to get back on track. He is on CRRT now. He did have a 12 hour break today and back on it tonight.
Great news from Doctor today. He should be out of ICU BY FRIDAY OR the following MONDAY. As long as the surgery Tuesday goes good!!
Please continue to pray for his infections, Pray for his lungs, kidneys, his wounds, and anxiety. Thank you all who are praying.”

So glad for Ryan that the updates get better and hes getting on the road for recovering, prayers
