Journal entry by Jeremy Miller —
Good morning,
There have been several critical developments in Gideon's recovery this week. On thursday, Gideon was experiencing significant pain in his abdomen while doing therapy. The medical staff at the rehabilitation center were concerned and had Gideon taken to the hospital for examination. They discovered that he was experiencing significant bleeding and performed a procedure to stop the bleeding. Gideon was stable.
Last evening (Friday night), his hemoglobin levels dropped and the medical staff became very concerned and again Gideon was taken to perform a procedure to identify the location of the bleeding and stop it. As they performed the procedure, they were unable to locate the source of the bleeding but his blood counts leveled out and his blood pressure returned to normal. He is under observation in the ICU today as doctors seek to understand what is happening with his body.
Thank you for your prayers
