Update on Pastor Babcock ...

Here is the latest from Elder John Waggoner, Calvin Pres Church (OPC), Phoenix, updating us on Pastor Babcock.

*****

Michael is improving but slowly. The doctor was just in and is concerned about the following:

He is not getting up enough - he did get up twice yesterday but needs to do more.

He continues to struggle with breathing, He needs to cough but is resistant to doing so do to pain in his chest (can't blame him there!!).

He continues to have a temperature over 100 in the afternoons and evenings.

His appetite is not what the doctors think it should be - he ate half of a turkey sandwich while I was with him, not much.

The doctor has ordered several x-rays today - they are trying to determine why he is spiking a temperature when on abundant antibiotics.

Thanks to all who have visited. Please continue to pray for Michael's recovery process and strengthening!!

It looks like Michael's release will be Friday or Saturday at the earliest. So, anyone who was thinking about visiting this week would be safe if they
came before Friday. (Pastor Babcock is still in Flagstaff.)
