Thanksgiving (4:00 pm ET) Update

Hi Everyone -

Bad news.  They tried weaning Dad off the ventilator about an hour ago and his vitals all crashed.  His blood pressure went down to ~60/30.  They have got him back on the ventilator and are working to stabilize him again now.  Looks like this is going to be more drawn out than what was originally thought.  Please keep sending good energy his way.  He is a fighter and this isn't a huge set back.  It's just a little disappointing... I was hoping they would call with all positive news.  Will update everyone tonight.  Happy Thanksgiving. Make sure you tell your parents you love them tonight!

    Thank you, Taylor. I hope the news is better over the next few days.

    His body has to fight extra hard with all the other serious problems he’s dealing with. Clyde is a strong man and determined to get through this. He just needs the extra support the vent provides to allow his body to rest a little more and reduce the struggle on his lungs. I’m sure it’s exhausting for him. Hang in there. Praying for you all.
