Truly, I don't... this has been an up and down weekend and the hits just keep on coming.
The doctors just told us that Jerry is NOT getting any better and that in fact, his kidneys have all but stopped functioning. They could put him on dialysis, but they don't think in the long run it will be worth it.
His breathing has gotten worse and they have moved him from a standard mask to a "pressure mask" to help him breathe, however, it still isn't helping like they want it to. They are talking about putting him on a respirator, however, he has told our parents that he wants quality of life ..so that is probaby not an option.
We are in the throes of making some extremely tough decisions right now as the worst that we feared seems to have come to pass.
Decisions will be made in the next 24 hours that will affect all our lives forever. We are still praying for a miracle... but are having to face the harsh light of reality at the moment.

My heart goes out to all of you. I keep asking everyone I know to keep Jerry in the prayers. Such a roller coaster you have all been going thru. We never know what God's plan is for us, all we can do is keep faith and hope he answers our prayers. May Jerry have strength and comfort at this time.
