Kirk Update September 2

Kirk has many supporters and they all showed today. Doctors from his job now came to see him and doctors from his job in Houston have also checked on him. And these are all neurologists who know and care about him. Thank you Lord for leading him to this profession.

He is on anti seizure medicine, sedatives and medicine to reduce the swelling in his brain. They are trying to control his sodium high to pull water from his cells to reduce swelling. He will have an EEG to check seizure activity. I do not know the results of his CT to clear his neck yet.

He is being moved to the 8th floor which is the neurosurgical ICU meaning he will have around the clock neurologists and neurosurgeons all the time. He will be in room 8085.

Sidney is doing OK. I don't think she understands all that is happening. Tonight she has swim lessons and curriculum night at school. Kirk's parents will also arrive tonight. I am wearing Kirk's wedding band on a chain around my neck until I can put it back on his finger.

The doctors said today that we will have a better idea of how he is going to do in about 5 days. Until then he rests and tries to heal and we wait and pray. Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your thoughts. Support is coming from every direction and every side.
