Little Bit of News

The doctors just finished the bronchoscopy. They were able to extract quite a bit of mucus which will be sent for cultures. His white blood cell count was up to 30 this morning but they just told us it was back down to 28. His oxygen levels are down to 60%. He is right now sleeping comfortably.

Well, he was sleeping comfortably until they came to put a feeding tube down his nose. He struggled a little bit and tried to move his head. They are done now and he is much more relaxed now.

We are still waiting for some answers. We are trying not to be anxious.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phil 4:4-8

Thank you so much for your most recent update! We are all anxious with you and are praying for answers sooner than later! From your updates, it appears the doctors are doing everything they can to find the answers. Hang in there Kooiman family, you have a lot of support and prayer directed your way every day. There are a lot of people walking with you and supporting you as you go through this difficult journey. The Lord will see you through this! Kevin J.
