Here is the latest update on Berrrrrrt Case.
The news is a little better today- the doctors say the slight case of sepsis is contained - Bert has been fever-free for many days and his blood pressure has stopped fluctuating and the blood reports are clean.  His lungs though remain the main focus for recovery- while he does a lot of his own breathing, he still needs help particularly at night.  Be assured, though, that Bert wants out of the hospital, back home and work so he's doing as much as possible to get there!  Keep praying for him please and thanks....Mary #prayforBert

A setback- Bert has sepsis once again. However, it's NOT the big bad version; all his organs are in good shape including his kidneys and he's on antibiotics. His fever and blood pressure that wavered late last week are back to normal - those fluctuations were the first signals that something wasn't right. Again, though, his systems are under control and working normally. He was mostly awake but tired Sunday. On the good news side, he's been doing mostly his own breathing during the daytime and on help at night to rest his lungs. This is all part of this slow, slow recovery which as you would suspect has Bert very frustrated; I keep telling him to mentally jump ahead to the day when this is in his rear view mirror....date unknown for now. Keep praying, please and thanks! Mary #prayforBert

As animated as Bert was on Friday, he was the opposite on the gloomy, rainy Saturday- a lot of sleeping and not interested in much. His TV was on for the Ole Miss game, but he wasn't particularly interested in that either! Hopefully today the sunshine will bring a sunnier Bert! Thanks and keep praying - this recovery is taking a long time and like Bert, all there rest of us have to be patient too- this is a rough road. Many thanks......Mary #prayforBert
