Davy’s November 8th Update

Hey Friends,

This is Odie with another Davy Update. Please do not stop praying! The prayers are working! We still have a very long way to go. Below is an update from yesterday.

We have something to praise God for today. Dad’s kidney function numbers have improved slightly. The tube they inserted Wednesday afternoon is working to drain the kidney, helping eliminate the source of the infection. 

Also, they have targeted the specific bacteria that caused him to be septic and can target it with specific antibiotics. We are told it will be a two week treatment of these IV antibiotics.  They say at least 7 days of it in ICU, and we will see after that. 

They will proceed with stone removal after the infection is gone and he is strong enough for it. 

Dad is still not out of the woods and is still a very sick man. We are asking God for complete healing, including the damage from the stroke he suffered last December. 

One thing remains true and solid… The Goodness of our God and the blessing of great friends.   

God’s presence is here with Dad in an amazing way! There is obvious praise in His heart for our great God! One thing Dad knows for certain is, "He may not come when you want him, but he'll be there right on time"! We are trusting and believing in an always On Time God!

Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen and Bruce and Priscilla Mayhan have been some of the hands and feet of your prayers for us.  

So many of you continue to pour out your well wishes and prayers and offers to do anything in the world for us if we name it. You all are fantastic friends. We know everyone can not be here. It would not be good wisdom.

Brother Bruce, Uncle Steve, and their wives have helped us with the strongest support you could ever imagine for us. God has used them for you for our benefit. 

So thank you all immensely for your prayer and support!

Thank you for checking in for an update. 

Odie
