We feel that we are wading thru some very deep water right now. Michael is unresponsive and the Dr.'s feel that he is slipping into a coma due to the medication. He also has fluid on his lungs and are doing a sonogram at this moment to try to find out where and the amount of fluid. All of this will determine the next step. The doctors are pretty confident that he will be on a ventilator so he can breathe easier. Michael's hemoglobin is up to 10 which is good and his platelets are around 49 but should be somewhere between 300 & 400. When we got here his platelets were at 5 which means he really had no way to stop bleeding if it should start. (Platelets are what causes your blood to clot). The doctors still feel that Michael has a chance of pulling out of this so they are continuing to do all that they can. We just keep praying, but most of all we want God's will to be done and made perfect.
