48/26. That is Brett's blood pressure right now at 12:15AM. He has yet another UTI. Unfortunately, UTI's are going to become very common since he can't urinate on his own anymore. We have to catheter him every four hours, and can't seem to push all the urine out of his body, which leads to more UTI's. He had a fever of 103 earlier today.
When his body has to fight off infection, it takes energy from him that he will never recover. His "energy tank" gets a little smaller with each sickness. Plus, the seizures are still here, and that takes a lot of ouf him as well.
Lisa has been up all night with him for the last two nights, so I am going to stand guard tonight. I lift all my children, but especially my little angel, up to Jesus and ask for His blessings. My heart hurts.

David,
My human heart aches for you and Lisa and the rest of your family. The spiritual side of me rejoices in the ways God is working in your lives. Brett is in his tender care as always. Brett is blessed to have you as his warrior and protector.
I am so sorry for the loss of you trusted physician and friend. Surely someone will come along to fill the professional void felt by his passing. Although those who love Dr. Amador will always feel a void in his absence. I am saddened for your loss and for his family's loss of course.
Just know my family will be praying for you and yours. You have our committment to prayer and support.
