Journal entry by Amber Brown —
Update from Ashley: 🙏❤️
Randal had another air pocket. So they had to put in another chest tube on the other side. He is tolerating that well. Remaining stable at 93 saturation, heart rate 108 and blood pressure stable on one blood pressure medication. Liver ammonia has come down slightly so that is a huge praise. Kidneys are remaining stable but we would like to see improvement soon. Needs some better output! They have pulled a ton of fluid off of him from the dialysis so that's good. He's a lot less swollen. He has still not woken up yet. But they still think this could be the ammonia causing this. So he is continuing treatment for that. His stomach is better but the ileus is still there. So they are just continuing to monitor. It's all a waiting game. While constantly battling the issues that come while waiting. But God remains to keep him stable and sustained every day. While there are ups and downs God is with him continuing to fight this battle. My heart and body are so exhausted but the Lord continues to give me strength in my weakness. I hope he's doing the same for y'all! Love you!!
