It's remarkable how Judah keeps hanging on. His oxygenation fell to as low as 78 this morning on 100% O2. Because Judah's passing is imminent, there was discussion as to whether or not to dialyze him today. Dr. Forman is ordering dialysis for Judah only because we've insisted that Judah's wishes to prolong his life be carried out. We've been told that it may buy Judah some time. Perhaps a day.
Right now his oxygenation is up to 88. His blood pressure is holding steady. Rabbi Josh Katzan has been with us all morning, and he read Vidui and the Sh'ma with us.
I believe that every hour more with Judah is worth a lifetime.

may the malachei hasharet be with all of you as Judah leaves on his journey. may he be protected from fear and may all of you have the strength to accompany him as far as possible as he crosses to the other side, and into his father's presence.

Judah -
I listened to you snore sharing our room in Israel and we had great laughs, our group of friends, doing ridiculous things. We've floated in and out of each other's lives, camp, Ulpan, this mess, but despite this loose tether, you are a hero to me, a real hero. I will forever hold you up as this and I can only look forward to one day seeing you and you can embarrass me, in your droll, gentle way, for being this raw.
White Family -
No one should ever have to be this strong and the love that you have for your son/brother is inspiring to everyone who knows you or reads these posts. So much love for one man.
Stacey and I have all of you in our hearts prayers.
