This is from late last night -
Troy continues to improve, however he lost a significant amount of blood, and his
systems are taxed. His lungs remain the most critical issue and the threat of pneumonia and infection are still there. Meanwhile, he was very lucid today, cranky (a good sign for me),and charming at the same time. He is such a witty, bright boy who always makes me smile.
Tomorrow morning he faces another surgery, a skin graft for his hand where he suffered 3rd degree burns.The good news is they feel he is strong enough to face it. We are hoping they will try to step him down from ICU tomorrow, which would be a wonderful thing. He still is not out of the woods due to the threat of pneumonia, and still remains with chest tubes and drains in place.
I believe the power of prayer that is going for this boy is so strong. Thanks for keeping the faith. Please keep his family in your prayers as well, for strength and
hope. The family has been through so much and they need the support.
