Thursday

In the evening, Marty developed a fever. The doctors are unsure of the source of the infection which may be causing this fever.  Marty wasn't very responsive today. Due to his decreased level of awareness, his high heart rate and high respiration rate, the doctors decided to reintubate Marty. This was done during the early morning hours of Friday. As, humanly speaking, this isn't a step in the right direction, this development can be somewhat unsettling. We can take comfort from these words of our LORD:

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
-- John 14:27
