Word on the street is we aren't going anywhere and it may be awhile Jerry's got an infection of some sort, his white blood count is elevated and still struggling with the fever. Valley Med would prefer that he be off the vent and infection free before transporting him. They will take Jerry if he doesn't get off the ventilator but not to the brain injury rehab center which is where he needs to be. Jerry had a mucus plug in one of the lobes of his left lung so the doc did a bronchoscopy, went down his bronchials with a scope and suctioned out the plug. The mucus was clear which is a good indicator that was not the source of infection. So we will be here at least until Wednesday.

You and Jerry are in our prayers.

Katie, we're so relieved to hear Jerry is slowly coming around a bit. We've been praying for Jerry and you and will continue to. Hope the infection is resolved soon so you can get Jerry to a better spot where they can help him more. You let Jerry know he's got a tube ride coming and a seat on the boat reserved just for him. BIG GIANT HUGS for you all.
Wishing you continued strength and healing.
Love, Dana and the Reimer Gang
