Laurence was moved to another room today that has a lift. He has lost a lot of mobility over the past week and can no longer stand to move from the bed to his wheelchair. The lift allows his nurse to transport him in a sling which will make it easier and safer to move him.
His doctor said they will be increasing his steroid meds to help combat his stomach distress. It is a little risky but they are anxious to find a solution to his pain and discomfort. They will continue the antibiotic for his bladder infection. Of all his symptoms, the bladder infection is the most serious. His doctors said that the infection is possibly preventing his bone marrow from producing adequate blood cells and platelets. All of this is taking a toll on his mental abilities and he has increased anxiety and confusion.
Despite everything going on in Laurence's body, there is an extraordinary presence of love that surrounds him. His smile radiates love as it always has.
I am so grateful for the dedicated staff that cares for him and so grateful for all of you for your continued prayers and love.
Blessings.
