Dire Covid situation, need prayers.

[Michie]

My sister in law has been updating me on her husband’s uncle. I will share a few messages below...

 

[Michie]

Jim's dr called. They were able to come down on some of his medications and vent setting. He has either had a heart attack or has some heart damage they arnt sure and don't know at this point how severe. His kidney function is dropping and he will have to have dialysis though they are trying to put this off as long as possible. He is having a hard time getting blood flow to his toes but decreasing meds should help. He has covid and another bacterial pneumonia but overall some improvements. If he is on the vent another week they will put a trach in for more comfort.

Just received another encouraging update regarding Uncle Jimmy. Thanks for praying for our family. (Sadly, we also learned last night that Jimmy’s sister-in-law, Judy, is also hospitalized and battling Covid. )

They were able to decrease another heart medication and 1 sedation medication. They found a blood clot in his leg which they are treating and another bacteria in his lungs that they r treating. They kept him on his back today and put an NG tube in and will start tube feeding to get some nutrition in him. Overall he is improving.
Please pray that blood flow will return to his feet

 

[Michie]

Thanks for all the prayers.Here is a recent update.

Jim has had a little set back today. They had to go back up on vent setting and sedation. He has no pulse in his rt foot and a blood clot in the left leg. His sodium is high but they are treating that with fluids and are tube feeding him now. He isn't making much urine but they are going to check his catheter to make sure it's in place. Dr will call me later this afternoon.

Short update on Jim. He has gone into afib which they are treating and he has spiked a fever. I haven't been able to talk with him yet. The dr will call me late this afternoon.
Dr just called. He continues in afib and they are treating it, they are thinking he may have a new infection somewhere, they have him on antibiotics and anti fungal , they have increased his vent setting again and sedation because he was getting agitated . His liver is getting better and kidneys are improving. His sodium is high and they r treating this and his PH in his blood is high because he can’t blow off enough co2. They are treating everything. For today her Overall picture respiratory and cardiac wise he is worse , liver and kidneys better. Blood sugars high because they are feeding him but he is getting insulin.

 

[Michie]

Dr called. They found yeast growing in his blood she says this is very serious, he is still in afib and has a fever they are treating this. He vomited in the night so they stopped feeding him for now but start again soon. They had to start one of the presser medications to keep his bp up and their goal is to stop this medication . He is still on his back but they are evaluating hour to hour about turning him on his stomach. They are removing the tubes in each side of his neck and replacing them in case this is the source of the yeast. His kidneys continue to improve and they will keep treating him aggressively.
They are also trying to wean him down on the oxygen.
They are doing all they can for Jim, I really like his dr. The problem is that he not only has covid but also had another bacterial lung infection and now has another due to the ventilator and now has yeast in his blood so there are a lot of things happening at once. Dr Shaw said they would continue to treat him aggressively.

 

[Michie]

Prayers appreciated! This guy is not even 60 yet. He is going through some horrible things because of this Covid. Who knows if he’ll ever be the same again. Lord have mercy.

The latest:

Dr. Called. Good news is that they cardioverted his afib back into rhythm and his kidneys are doing good. Other news is his oxygen plummeted today and he had to be bagged. His white blood cell count jumped quite a bit so they did a CT scan on him and found he has a brain infarct and a spleen infarct. He is back on 2 presser medications. They want to do a procedure tm to look at his heart if he is stable enough and an mri to see the brain infarct better. He is still growing the yeast. We will have a better understanding once they are able to do these test.

Thanks for the prayers everyone.

was he vaccinated?

 

[Michie]

was he vaccinated?

No. His wife was. But he wasn’t.

 

[Michie]

The latest today:


Dr. Called. They will try to do the one test tm to look at his heart. They have had to increase the vent setting and give him a paralytic again so he will work with the vent. Jim will lose some toes on each foot. His lungs are un repairable the dr says, he will likely be on oxygen and as far as the stroke goes they need the mri and for him to wake up to access fully they assume there will be some rt sided effects. Please continue to pray for a miracle.
My sister Judy is being intubated please pray for her

Update from Barb’s sister Donna

Bev just called. Dr called to ask her to come up to the hospital. Jimmy is unstable and the doctor wants her here. Once she gets here and talks to the doctor she'll let us know what she finds out. Don't know yet if she'll be staying with me. ❤

Lord have mercy!

In the name of Jesus, no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, thou shall condemn. For this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, sayeth the Lord. Amen.

By the most precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the resurrected Christ, I order this disease to leave Mr. Jim immediately. I call on St. Luke, the holy physician and St. Camillus, patron saint of the sick along with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven and the Saints, and all of the Guardian Angels to grant Mr. Jim health and a speedy recovery in accordance with the will of God the Father. Amen.
