As of 11am this morning (Monday), we have found out that Dad Pierce has a kidney stone, which is what has caused much of his current condition. He is on 3 different antibiotics. The doctors cannot treat the kidney stone normally because his blood is so thin, and he would be in danger of excessive bleeding, so instead they are trying to thicken his blood artificially so they can then treat him.
Dad Pierce is conscious, although sleeping alot. When Mom Pierce's friend, Barb Skay, went in the room, he woke up right away and smiled at her.
Mom Pierce is holding up but having a very hard time between sleep deprivation and trying not to blame herself for this happening, so please pray for her and her strength of body and heart. We are trying to re-assure her that she could not have prevented this and are focusing on Dad Pierce pulling through and recovering.
We should know more by the end of the day as they move forward with how to treat his condition.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.

We've all been praying hard since early this morning when we got the first update. I'm glad that Greg is there and that you and Jen were able to drive up to be with your mom and dad.
Give Lorrie LOTS of love from Scott, the kids and I. And Give Fred an extra kiss and hug.
