Update

Reed is holding steady. His inter cranial pressure has lowered to around 8 and last I heard is pretty stable unless they move him around. He has pneumonia and MRSA of the sputum but those are both treatable. Just minor set backs. He seems to be worst at night but that seems to be what kids do. They can be fine during the day and then their cough, fever, etc. is worse at night. The fifth ward and Almy ward had a fast for him yesterday and all of the prayers are being felt. I am going to try to go visit at the end of this week and hopefully take Thursday and Friday off of work. The city of Evanston has been great. They have set up an account at Wells Fargo Bank for people to donate money and put up cans with Reed's picture and story around town to collect money. It is going to be one expensive hospital stay but the money is all worth it to keep Reed alive. I am coping better and able to at least function at work. The trip home should give me some peace of mind. Thank you to everyone who has sent a good thought or prayer for Reed and our family.

This is actually my 100th post. Too bad it wasn't more upbeat.

Until next time...Please keep praying for Reed...
