UPDATED Please pray for Jeff Quinn

Copied this from a Facebook post.

Thoughts and prayers going out for Jeff Quinn.
Jeff is in Intensive Care with severe pneumonia.
Jeff had been getting weaker by the hour over the past several days and we were thinking it was related to his kidneys. He had been extremely week on our trip the week before.
Yesterday evening, he lost consciousness at home and fell out with such force that the blow to his head initiated a brain bleed.
The ambulance to Erin ER revealed the brain bleed, infected lungs and heart rate steady in the 30's.
He was life-flighted to St.Thomas in Nashville last night and where he now begins his 2nd night of a stellar team of ICU staff trying to manage his fever & blood pressure along with all his antibiotic therapy. The bleeding has slowed to a stop and no surgery necessary.

Please keep Jeff in your thoughts and prayers.

2-3-16 Update from Mrs. Quinn

JEFF QUINN UPDATE:
Jeff is still in ICU.
It's a challenge as his body is not able to maintain significant oxygen levels on his own to be independent. Vitals are a roller coaster as one affects the other.

He walked last night with nursing assistance while on oxygen and he barely went 50 feet before getting dizzy, losing his breath and having to lean against the wall. He is wiped out after eating a few bites, turning over in bed or just answering questions to the Doctors.
As he said just a while ago..."I'm smothering to death."
(..for all my nursing friends, oxygen levels drop into the 80's without support. I guess you all know what that means as I really don't )

His doctor shared this morning that in addition to the infection/pneumonia...his body is holding on to about 8 lbs of fluid that is causing pressure around the lungs.

His kidney Doctor is visiting often to work with the ICU team to insure no further damage occurs to the kidneys that would catapult him into a Dialysis situation.

Jeff knows people are praying and asking about him and he said "Don't tell so many details because it makes me look weak."
Well guess what JQ?...you ARE weak at this time!! You aren't beyond the boundaries of untouchable in sickness & hurt. Gee.

So FB Prayer Warriors, keep Jeff on those prayer lists and we'll encourage God's healing hand to get Jeff home.

Tell the old coot he's got a bunch of guns to test on video...

If it's a particularly exiting/rare/interesting gun he may heal up 3 days ago...

Sounds very similar to what I had. Not pretty.
Great to hear he's out of the ICU. That's a big step.

Best wishes Jeff,

Oh... I'm sure he could post from his sick bed... But I think the Hospital may protest his testing procedures... (Can we set up a Chrony in the long hall?)
