Talked with Jared


Ah! Talked with Jared and we're figuring out this time thing. It's early Friday a.m. in TX - late Friday night here. We'll call him last thing at night and first thing in the a.m. and get reports at both ends of his day.  

He is still in the ICU. They had hoped to move him yesterday but decided to keep him where he was. He reports he's had several visitors  (in the ICU ::snort::) and  the nurses were getting confused as they thought each was his mother.  Then in the evening Steve and Debbie showed up. He told them these were his surrogate parents.  He's put them on the paperwork so they can get medical info. If he ever goes dark again we'll still have someone able to get the info to us. ::snort:: 

He's doing much better. His heart was high - spiking to 255. They've given him drugs to bring his heart rate down and that seems to be part of the concern. It is now averaging 103....so a bit high but in a much better range. He is still getting breathing treatments every couple of hours. 

He reports he has a "million IVs," is woke up every hour, doesn't like the breathing treatments at all - but he's feeling much better.  He has a nasty cough. 

They hope to move him out of ICU today. We'll call when we wake up in the a.m. which will be 5 or 6 p.m. his time and see how the day went. 

I am guessing he'll have reports of his own as soon as he can get a laptop.

Facebook to the Rescue



 Ah - and there were more Jared updates Facebook. Obviously - FB is better than the phone. LOL

Josiah confirms  vitals are normal.

Debbie, our friend in San Angelo, writes:
 "Steve and I went to see Jared yesterday and boy did he look a lot better. He is definitely on the road to recovery. He was even joking with us. "

There you go - if he's joking - he's feeling better.

Jared Update



We have not been able to reach Jared or the hospital today. We're staying up to try to call early in the a.m. TX time. We did see this from Bre's facebook timeline so she must have reached him.

"Brother update: all of his vitals are normal and they are moving him out of ICU in the morning! Praise the Lord! Thanks for all the prayers...please keep praying him through;)."

We plan to stay up late tonight which will be very early Friday a.m. TX time (I believe).  In any event, if we don't reach him, I'll call in the surrogates.
