Encouragement:
- Sean continues to turn to God’s Word and is finding encouragement in the Psalms. He’s asked for Psalm 46, Psalm 23, and Psalm 73 to be read during hard moments.
- Andrew Peter’s song The Dark Before the Dawn and the Knowing God album by Sovereign grace – has been very encouraging to listen to in the hospital room.
- Hearing about all the people praying regularly and specifically for Sean and Jenny has been a great blessing to them.
Medical Update:
- Here’s what happened last week with Sean’s sepsis: His procalcitonin level was over 300—something that some of the ICU team said was the highest they’ve seen. His body went into shock, and doctors are still working to pinpoint the source. But he’s now on powerful antibiotics, and the infection is starting to clear. But pray that this continues as it has been over the last week.
- Sean’s also facing GI side effects from chemo and antibiotics, causing potassium loss. His care team caught this early and is working hard to stabilize him. He receives infusions of potassium throughout the day to help with this, and they are beginning to see positive effects.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for Sean’s vital signs to stabilize fully. His fever, blood pressure, and heart rate are still fluctuating.
- Pray for the strong IV antibiotics to eliminate all remaining infection.
- Pray for potassium levels to remain stable and for ongoing GI issues to resolve.
- Pray for the swelling in his body to decrease.
- The Perrons believe God placed them with their current ICU nurse—now with them for three days—at just the right time. Pray that gospel seeds planted in conversation will take root and lead him to follow Christ passionately.
- Most of all, pray that God would glorify His name through Sean’s healing, and that those witnessing this journey would see and savor the God of Elijah, Moses, Daniel, and David.
Praises:
- Hemoglobin levels are strong, and Sean hasn’t needed more blood transfusions beyond the initial three in ICU!
- Sean’s white blood cell count has jumped significantly in the last 48 hours – and this means the engraftment is happening. This is a big deal for his immune system being boosted and getting stronger.
- Cardiology confirmed that Sean’s heart function has returned to normal—a massive win and an answered prayer.
Please keep praying. We’re asking God to heal Sean completely and use his story to point many to Christ. Continue to follow Sean’s facebook page for daily updates.
