This afternoon/evening fairly stable. The most significant is that his heart rate is down to a consistent 75bpm, and his blood pressure is at 116/62 (again, NO MACHINES FOR THAT!!!). Great news. Also, his lungs are getting better and better, with him taking approximately half of the breaths on his own and the fluid build-up at half of what it was just 12 hours previous. His heart is in much better shape than it was on Monday evening (no big surprise there) according to EKG.
This weekend they plan on just trying to keep him relaxed (on sedation) and stable to let the body heal. This unfortunately will be a marathon journey, but since the doctors didn't believe he'd survive on Monday, they are all talking very positive and hopeful...which is an answer to all the prayers being made on Tim's behalf. God bless you all for your faithfulness in prayer!

Prayers are being offered and Elizabeth, we so appreciate your faithfulness to keep all of us in the loop.
Don't be surprised when he does wake up that he does not know what has happened or remember any of this. That won't say brain damage but will say that by grace he has been protected from the memory of this physical journey that is so hard.
Blessings,
Cherie Binns
