Connor Corkern
Connor man’s Friday update… It is Friday, right?
First things first, he’s finally off all blood pressure medications! Praise Be To God!
He’s still on some sedating meds to keep him from moving too much with his vent. He squeezed my hand this morning when I was praying the rosary with him and my heart melted into a puddle. What a fighter he is and how loved he is by Christ and Our Holy Mother!
He’s getting an echocardiogram in a bit to check his heart rhythms, as well as some pampering on his sweet lil thunder thighs to keep any clots from forming. If all goes well we are hoping for possible extubation early next week. He’s come so far and we are so grateful.
Again, thank you for your love and prayers. Each one is so mighty! 
The Pine Ridge Benefit Sunday morning will help Mr. Red Pittman of the New Zion community. Breakfast is at 8:00. Donations are accepted.
