Latest update on Dr. Garrisi, from late 9/10/09 ...

Pastor Buchanan took Mom into the hospital this morning. John drove up to be with his mother for a couple of days. Dad remains in a very serious condition. He is still in the ICU, has a yeast infection (possibly in the gall bladder), a blood clot in his leg, serious kidney and liver issues. He has been placed on dialysis to help clear his blood. The dialysis has helped him be a little more coherent today. They will continue it. Tomorrow they plan to go through his artery to place a filter in a blood vessel to catch any blood clot that becomes “thrown”. The doctors have not been able to put him on very much pain medication as it lowers his blood pressure and it is already too low.

Thank you for your prayers. We don’t know what the future holds, but we know the One that does!

Diane for the both of us
(Diane is Rev. John Garrisi's wife)
