Well, we got good news today! :-)
Because the meds (and prayers!) are working really well, my brother is now out of ICU and in a regular room. He's only on the nasal oxygen, he's eating solid foods, and they've decided to not do the surgical procedures on him after all because he's responding to the meds so well. We are all thanking God for these improvements. :*) He still has a way to go, of course, and a lot of lifestyle changes, but it's definitely a good start.
Thank you all for your prayers, too. My whole family really, really appreciates them. :*)
