Jeff had finally improved to where he could go to a nursing home, and got sent to a nice one in Beckley. We were really thinking and hoping things were going Jeff's way at last, but today he had to be taken back to the ER. Here's what his sister posted,

“Set-Back for Jeff. His lungs are soupy again today and he has bit the inside of his cheek until it bled. His oxygen is low also. They are sending him to Beckley Appalachian Regional Emergency Room. I will take my little computer, in hopes that I can get service and update you as the day goes on. Again, please pray for Jeff, he has been through so much.”

I'm really worried about him, a person can only take so much.

Thank you all for the prayers. Jeff's sister posted this yesterday, and it's really hard to read, breaking my heart,

“Jeff is not doing well at all. I am trying to get him into a Nursing Home in Beckley, where he has a chance of getting therapy, for real! He still has a bladder infection and is very weak now. I am praying that God will give us a much better place this time, that can actually help him. The plan is to get him to walking and swallowing again so he can live with us, until he is ready to live on his own again. I don't know if that is going to happen or not. I can't take care of him until he can walk and eat and I'm not sure if he has the strength or the will to get there or not. He is miserable and he is living his worst nightmare. My heart is just broken for him and for myself. I love him so much. Please pray for him to get stronger and to get the will to try again.”

Jeff had to be taken back to the emergency room yesterday with dehydration, fever, infection, and possible pneumonia. This morning he’d taken a turn for the worse, and was very uncomfortable, according to his sister. He’d being fed by a tube to the stomach, but it’s possible his digestive system has shut down. He really needs prayers now. Thank you all.

Thanks T, and all of you. I hear from his sister on facebook most days, and as was already posted, got to visit Jeff shortly after the latest stroke. His sis said he was tired and depressed today, and she hopes it’s because therapy wore him out. I hope that’s all it is, too. He can’t give up now. He’s also gotten a cut on his leg that being treated to prevent infection.

All of your prayers are appreciated!

Thank you all for your prayers. Skidoo (Jeff) is in a nursing home now, and recieving therapy. Unfortunately his insurance will only pay for a few weeks there, so he needs to improve fast if he’s going to recover. He needs every prayer he can get.

Yes, it’s the same Skidoo. Sticky on top on GNG with all the updates.
