results of ultrasound

It's 11:00 p.m. and I finally made it into the room without being asked to leave, They have the results of the test back and he does have small blood clots in his arm like they thought, but he also has on blood clot in his right leg. They can't really do anything about it right now but watch it. I was told they don't want to put him on any blood thinners at this time, they just need to concentrate on the head.
His pressure is at 13 and his temp. is 99.3
Hunter has started to have bowel movements, which is a good sign they say, (but our pregnant Jessica can say otherwise) therefore because of this they had to remove the tubing from his upper leg area to his arm so that he doesn't get infected. When moving it to the arm that is when they suspected the blood clot.
Right now Nurse Larry is in the process of moving all the IVs and medicines over to his arm.
Mom, Dad, and Jessica are on their way over to the room (thank you St. Clairs) to sleep for the night. They will be back in the morning to be with me when the Dr.'s come in with updates. It's nice when their is more than me to hear it so when I mess is up, they can correct me on what I heard.
Hunter is doing good for the most part, and we know things are going to work out for the best.
We like to thank everyone for everything, Food, Expenses, Cards, time, rides, but most of all the most important help we can have, Prayers. Everything is in the Lord's hands and all we can do is learn patience and wait, I never thought I could be taught that, but right now I think he's winning and I am learning, It's as hard as not to touch Hunter or talk in the room.
Once again, Thank for everything and please pray for the Dr's. and Nurses to make all the right choices in the care of Hunter.

One more thing....

They just called to inform me of one more test they are doing tonight. They had suspected maybe a small blood clot in Hunters arm. It is small and in a small vein, nothing that can move to the lungs, or brain or heart. So, right now they are doing an ultrasound over his entire body to look for any other blood clots. They are hoping the radiologist can tell them the results sometime tonight. They are also hoping they will be allowed in the room sometime tonight.

Wednesday Night

Jessica and Grandma Laub got there this afternoon and have only been able to be in the room for about 20 minutes. They keep sending them out. They've been running lots of tests. X-rays, lab work, urine samples. Hunters fever had spiked and his body is retaining lots of water, he's very swollen. We don't have the results of any tests or no exactly what's going on at this point. Kim and Grandpa Laub got down there this evening and nobody has been allowed in the room at all tonight.

Update on Hunter

Duane just informed me that Hunter took a step back. They had to give Hunter his full medicine and put him back in the coma. I believe they have to wait 24 hours to try again. I think there will be a lot of ups and downs over the next few days.

Change of Plans

Grandma T went home with Duane and MaKayla. Grandma Laub and Jessica on the way to Vegas. Grandpa Laub and Kim will come tonight.

Picture from Trek 2008

(Thank you Janarah for sending me this picture!)

Janarah was Hunter's Trek "Ma." This is a picture from Trek this last summer of Hunter and his Trek "brothers and sisters." I know this experience was proabably a real growing experience for Hunter. Thank you all so much for caring and praying for Hunter!!

Wednesday Afternoon Update

Duane and MaKayla on the way back to Mesquite. The doctor told them that they need to be quite in the room today. They have the room dark. They need his brain waves to not be active. As long as his pressure is down they won't need to give him medicine. Grandma T is sitting with Hunter today.

Angels Among Us

There are angels among us both living and on the other side. I am thankful for the love of Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ for sending them to us in our time of need.
I want to thank each of you. The outpouring of love, concern, offers to help, and your fasting and prayers overwhelms us. Our angels keep us going. God bless each of you. love, Duane

Wednesday Morning Update

Duane just called to say he was able to sleep. MaKayla sat with Hunter and they switched at 3:00 a.m. His pressure has been under 20 since then. It is currently at 12 and his temp at 99. Duane was able to give Hunter a fathers blessing and is feeling very peaceful this morning. Duane is going to wait for the doctor to come in and then head back to Mesquite to do his work. Kim and Jessica will be here tonight. MaKayla doesn't want to leave Hunter's side but Duane is telling her she should continue with work and they can have her help on her day's off.
