Today was a neutral day. The liver enzymes were up a little more than in the kidneys, but Larry did break the temp he had for most of the day. They adjusted the feeding tube and took it out of the mouth and went through his nose. They were trying to loosen up the breathing channel as he was getting very agitated from the breathing treatments. His blood pressure remained low, but was receiving drugs to bring it up a bit. Overall swelling was still occurring, but doctors have wanted to hold off on lasics for a little while. The kidneys were still showing signs of functioning, which is a positive. The chest x-rays showed consistent with yesterday, no real change on the pneumonia side. He got a new fancy air bed that adjusts his position every ten minutes. He would have wanted one of those at home :-)
Brenda was able to get some well needed rest today and the continuous support, prayers, emails, and voicemails are certainly appreciated. I think the word is getting out on the blog spot page, so we hope everyone is being kept informed.
The staff at Mayo has been wonderful and they take great care of him and us! They are second to none in reputation and their bedside manners clearly demonstrate that.
Nights seems to be the loneliest, but that is to be expected...
Continued prayers for the family are appreciated. We love you all!

Hi guys,
Bren, you know how much I love all of you. My prayers and thoughts are always with you. You know I am here for you day or night. Larry is one of the nicest friends I have, and I love him very much. We've all had some good times, and you and I know what craziness both Larry and Glenn dealt with when the two of us were together. Not all men could take that!!! Give the boys a hug for me and have them give you a big one from me also. Take care of you. I love you, Chris
My thoughts and prayers are with Larry and his family. He is an amazing person and as I read through the blog comments it is clear everyone agrees. I have only known Larry a couple of years but have been inspired by his vision and his will, Myriam Roa
