Quick update:

Augustine's condition has remained the same for the last few days. The bleeding in his brain has not worsened, but they'll be checking it regularly because the heart and lung machine requires him to also be on blood thinners. The first five days that he's on the machine are the most critical, so please pray that the bleeding will subside. The machine is helping his blood maintain a higher amount of oxygen, but he's having some inflammatory reactions from the plastic of the tubes leeching into his bloodstream.

We are thankful that he's receiving the care he needs in the Philadelphia hospital; the doctor's best-scenario estimate is that he'll be there for at least a month, so they're on the waiting list for a room at a nearby Ronald McDonald house.

Pete has to start work in the podiatric practice of which he's a part on Monday, so please continue praying for strength and emotional sustenance for both he and Sarah. His work is a couple of hours away from the hospital, so he won't be able to see them as regularly. She and Haven will be staying near Augustine in Philadelphia.

May their Father continue to tenderly nourish the four of them in body and soul.
