Nightly Report

Judah has quite a little bit going on tonight. His night nurse, Cindy, just gave me the rundown:
His respiration seems to be little changed from earlier. His blood pressure is stable and good. He was given some blood earlier today and he is retaining a good deal of fluid. They will treat him with a diuretic and draw some fluid off of him. He has an entire team of doctors who see him daily. Dr. Forman, a hemotologist is the lead, Dr. Ven is the cardiologist, Dr. Ahmad is the nephrologist, Dr. Dunst is the pulmonologist, and Dr. Al-Sayed is his endocrinologist. In addition, there are the on-call doctors and others who drop in from time to time.
I sent mom off to the hotel to sleep and I'll take the night shift while Iss has the Grandpa/Pixie shift. We'll all reconvene here in the morning.

HI Benji,

Sounds like the doctors are a cadre of an international ethnic make up, with a common denominator, to make Judah Daniel well. Praying for their success.

Sleep well dear Judah Daniel, renew your strength for tomorrow, or is it already today?

Much love, Rachel

Dear Judah, Martha, Ben & Issi -

Hope you all had a good, restorative, night's rest.

Have a great day, today.

Love, Uncle Robby

Dear White Family,
As usual check, check, checking. I am full of hope as Judah is constantly monitored and care is calibrated to the situation as it changes. Hope and prayer are both very good, but nothing tops expert medical care. It looks like Judah is covered on all three counts.

Please relay - Dr. White, honey,
we think of you constantly and admire and love you, Mrs. C and Ralph

First to the Narrator:

Benji, your descriptions are so clear and informative, it's like we are there. Your sincerity shows through. Thanks.

Judah, keep up the good work. We want to keep reading about you every day.

Third to Mom:

Martha, belated Happy Birthday. I won't reveal the number.
