Jerry made some progress today. The doctors are trying to wean Jerry from the different supports that he is on over the next several days and today, we made progress. He is very heavily sedated but seems to be comfortable all things considered.
Specific prayer requests for today are:
1. Protect him from complications with the goal for him to be free of all support and stable on his own so that we can get him the surgery that he needs.
2. Be thankful for continued improvement.
3. Continued patience and strength.

Waiting....
Overnight and into this morning, the doctors continue to work to stabilize him for the next step. The next 2-3 days will be critical in regard to Jerry's progress. He is in very critical condition.
Please continue to pray for us. Specific prayer requests: 1. Pray that Jerry's overall health will improve. 2. Pray for Debbie as she struggles to make decisions regarding Jerry's care. 3. Pray that we will receive clear signs in Jerry's condition to guide us.
Finally, please remember to think of Jerry as the Person he is....active, walking, biking, boating, etc., NOT in his current condition. Right now, we continue to wait.

Jerry's At Northwestern
It's about 2pm in the afternoon on Thursday and thankfully, Jerry made the flight up from Bloomington with no problems. He is currently in ICU here at Northwestern and doctors here are working quickly to assess his condition. We are thankful that he is under the care of some of the best cardiologists in the world here at NW. Please continue to pray for his recovery; specifically, please pray to protect Jerry from infections and fever so his body can continue to focus its energy on healing his heart.
