This past Thursday, April 16th Bam was moved back to Norton’s. Bam’s main surgeon had called us two days in a row saying the nurses at Fraizer were not really used to dealing with a patient that had as many things going on as Bam had. He said his team had been and would go over each day to assist them at Fraizer with the wound vac so he could continue the therapy. However, on Thursday, one week after being there, the Kidney doctor made the call to get him back as he was getting dehydrated on them at Fraizer and it was affecting his kidneys. We put the address out there for Fraizer last week and Bam was blessed with a multitude of cards being sent to Fraizer. So far they have been getting them to him at Norton’s and we were able to meet a nurse last night and have started the process of putting them in a binder so that when he either gets more strength he can read them himself or once we can get back with him we will read them to him. I know they will certainly pick his spirits up as they have ours by looking through them. Back to the medical update, after getting back in Norton’s they put more IV fluids back in his body and continued to give antibiotics to fight the infection that continues to linger around. The nurses tell us that there has been some improvement in his kidneys the last few days. Today, they did find a blood clot in his leg and more fluid coming back around the left lung. So a chest tube was put back in to drain the fluid and blood thinner through the IV was started as a result of the clot. And of course with tomorrow being five weeks since the family has been able to be with him, I believe that continues to play a part in his healing as well. So all this may seem like a step back and some of it may be. I am going to choose to believe that it is all in the timing......God’s perfect timing. I have learned a lot about Bam over the past 4 months that even I as his brother didn’t know. He has certainly been blessed in his life to be able to meet so many people and to serve his community and state in the manner in which he has. We are very proud of him and thankful for him. And we are so encouraged and so very thankful to everyone for the continued thoughts and prayers and for all the support you have shown Bam and our family during his illness. We look forward to his continued improvement and him being able to join us in thanking each of you for the love and concern you have showed him. In the meantime, let’s continue to worship God as we continue to lift Bam up in prayer.
