Noon Update for Joey Keller – Saturday, November 27th, 2010

I heard from dad (Harold) about the update for Joey. He (Harold) stayed in the room last night with Joey and they came in and ran tests at Midnight and 5 am.

Joey was complaining about pain in his legs, so they removed the IV’s that were in his legs. So now he only has 1 IV in his arm for Medications and Emergencies which is a good sign.

All Liquids and Nourishment are happening orally now, which is a good sign.

They removed the bandages and head band today. Joey still has the drainage tube in, and they are concerned about the spinal fluid not draining right and not enough. This is a matter of prayer now.

Also, his right leg is still swollen and they are wanting him to keep moving it and exercising it. This is the leg that was giving Joey trouble when they arrived at the hospital last Sunday night. So this too is a matter of prayer.

They are not doing any radiation today or tomorrow to give Joey a break until Monday.

They are wanting Joey to eat as many calories as he possibly can with food, milkshakes and other high calorie items in an effort to add as much as they can before Chemotherapy.

Nick and Elizabeth are really tired right now. We need to pray for supernatural strength for them right now. They are obviously exhausted and need our prayer.

So to recap, we need to pray for 3 things:

1.  For Joey’s legs.

2.  For the drainage issue in the brain fluid.

3.  For Nick and Elizabeth for supernatural strength.

Thanks everyone for praying,

Matt
