More Prayers for Kent

Although my brother-in-law Kent seemed to have recovered from his brain biopsy in November, he continued to have headaches off and on. The neuro-surgeon was not able to provide any insight into his past or future medical condition, so he just "soldiered on". January 1st he began to suffer with a terrible headache - without relief - and he started experiencing other symptoms yesterday. This afternoon, while getting ready for work, he became so weak he could not get up or walk and was not very responsive.

Mary called for help and Toni and Ray picked them up and met Ed and Hope at the Memorial Hermann ER. He was seen immediately and after several hours of tests they were told he has a subdural hematoma (brain bleed), likely at the site of the biopsy. There is a 2cm blood clot causing pressure on his brain/spinal cord that has to be removed and it is possible that there is also an infection at the biopsy site.

He is in ICU, on oxygen, and is doing well. If he remains stable through the night they will wait to do the surgery until tomorrow. If there are any negative changes with him during the night, they will operate immediately. This is a scary development, but he is in good hands. Please say a prayer for Kent and for the surgeons and nurses who will remove the blood clot tomorrow.
