Update on Kathy

Update on Kathy for 8/3. She is better today. Her lung infection is gone. She will need to build up strength and capacity in her lungs which will take time. The xray still shows white spots, which are scar tissue from rhe pneumonia and will eventually heal. Urine output is still very, very low, but her kidney MD still believes that they can get restated and I told her I would believe in that also. She seems to be resting better today and I limiting her excitement to keep her heart beat down. We need to continue to pray and believe in her complete healing, especially her kidneys and lungs.

8/4 Update

Praise Report for Kathy - 8/4. I have been here several hours today and she has been pretty alert. Got her to smile a few times when reading your cards to her. She has about triple the urine output today from previous days. They are doing rapid dyalisis on her today. They will only do 4 hours at twice the normal volume. This will hopefully solve the clogging issue that has been stopping them from completing the series. Please continue your prayers for her kidneys and lungs. She still has some phelmish congestion that they have to suction, but her air capacity has increased and they now have her down to 40% O2. She was at 60% at one point. Thank You from the H.E.R.S. family. (Humphreys, Edwards, Rowe, Sebastian) A Kathy-ism

Thanks for the update Steve, I'm reminded of Psalm 41:3 (NLT) "The LORD nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health."

• God's speed in her recovery to full health!

Doc, many times we question why God did not intervene in a situation. I have done this often in my life. I cannot say why He did not intervene for Kathy; however, I can say this: Look at the over 200 posts on this thread and you will see how God has used you, and Kathy's situation, to bring about an enormous amount of prayer and praise that would not have occurred otherwise. I believe that it is reasonable to believe that many have grown closer to God through their prayers for Kathy and their praise for her improvement.

None of us wanted this to happen to Kathy, but the result reminds me of Paul and Silas in a dark prison in Philippi. Beaten and chained, yet at midnight they prayed and sang....

Doc,
How did she handle the rapid dialysis? :shocked:
It can end up dropping the patient's blood pressure rapidly, and causing faintness or nausea...
I hope that she made it through; without any of those issues popping up...
And Happy Birthday! :thumbup:

Thank you Jesus for answered Prayers. I know alot of you have been prayer warriors for Mrs Kathy and I thank you as im sure Doc does also. I seems like she is getting much better now and I just wanted to give credit where credit is due and that is to the one and only Lord Jesus Christ. Still praying for continued healing for Mrs Kathy and caring patience for Doc as this is hard on him as well. Two honorable people there and it shows on this board. Love Mrs Kathy and Doc much.

She did well. She has a strong heart. She was a little tachycardia today when I talked to the nurse. No clotting in the machine at all. They pulled 2lbs of water off of her in that 4 hours.

:clap: Glad to hear that she handled it so well! :2thumbs:

Update

PRAISE REPORT ON KATHY - 8/5 - The rapid dialysis yesterday really wiped her out today. In fact, last night she wasn't able to digest her tube meal and she was naseaus enough to vomit some. (which I sure felt great with broken ribs) No urine output at all today and her heartbeat has been pretty fast. These are all side effects of the rapid dialysis. She will bounce back. One of the nurses explained it the best I have ever heard. He said that her recovery is like a roller coaster; there are going to be hills and valleys. It will not be a steady climb. There will be minor setbacks from time to time. What they are striving to do is reduce the dips and move her towards the peaks. That just made a lot of sense to me. I had ask this as a separate post, but I will post it here also. Please send her a card of encouragement or a hand written note. I would like her room to be so filled up that no matter where she looks, she will be encouraged. Here mailing address is: Kathy Humphreys, 91 South Gladstone, Columbus, IN 47201. Please continue to pray for her kidneys, her lungs, and overall improvement. We serve a Mighty God who is able to do anything!!
