Update on Ralphie ...
He has had several procedures where they have removed fluid from his lungs, but the fluid continues to build.
He is in the hospital where they have been removing fluid from and around his lungs daily. Because of the fluid build up (approximately one liter and more a day), one of his lungs collapsed. They have not been able to re-inflate it which usually occurs once the fluid has been removed.
This morning he will have surgery to hopefully resolve the problem, thus enabling him to go home. As long as the previous draining process continues, he would not be released. He has been in a lot of pain.
Janice and family are asking for prayers that this procedure will be successful.
As always, feel free to leave them a message on their website at the Guest Book site.
