Pete is home from the Hospital - we think he escaped!!!

He is walking on canes and crutches. He's very tired and getting some well deserved rest. It will be at least another week or 2 before he is back to 100%.

From Jeremiah Mitchell. Pete Mitchell is now on fewer sedatives. He is very responsive and trying to communicate, which is hard when you have a feeding tube in your mouth going down your throat and another in your throat to help you breath. His color has improved and the swelling is just in his hands now. I got to talk to him a bit today through video chat and he was quiet animated.

08/05/21

From Jeremiah Mitchell. Some swelling has gone down in Pete's face. They took him off of Epi yesterday and put him on more sedatives which means he slept well. He'll be taken off the sedatives today to get him awake and responsive. He has a temperature of 101 (typical for Dad) but they want to monitor that to make sure there isn't an infection. Honestly, he had a high temp the last time he went through this. They are looking at ways now to get nourishment into him and are constantly checking blood sugars.

Overall - "this is a good sign".

Bro Jim Gaddy received word that his oldest daughter was admitted to the hospital last night with a blood pressure reading of 187/132. So far the tests indicate that she has not had a heart attack. And the doctors did not find anything other than the high blood pressure at this time. Elissa may go home today! Please keep Bro Jim’s family and daughter, Elissa, in your prayers.

Prayerfully,

Just received a call from Bro David Goodnow. He is requesting prayers for his brother-in-law, James Scott. His wife’s brother. James is in intensive care in the hospital in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He has been diagnosed with COVID, has been placed on a ventilator, and is not doing well. James, known by friends and family as Jimmy, is 74 years of age and is a US Army veteran. David says that he is a great guy and a good man. David asked for Lodge prayers but since we do not meet for four weeks, I thought it best to let the brethren know now so those prayers can start immediately. I ask that you lift up James Scott in your prayers when on bended knee.

Fraternally,

Jim Moore
