The primary focus of Leif's care today is balancing his electrolytes, particularly, lowering his sodium level. This is a slow process of hydrating him intraveneously to ensure no damage is done to his brain. His sodium has come down some today and hopefully will continue to move in that direction tomorrow.
The medical staff is also concerned about Leif not being responsive enough. He does have his eyes open and appears to follow faces but he is not responding to some neurological tests. He had a CT scan of his head this morning that did not give enough information to draw any conclusions. His lack of response may be a result of the electrolyte imbalance, a small stroke or just a result of all the major medical procedures he has been through recently. Further tests to determine what is going on cannot happen until his electrolytes and kidney function are under control.

Our prayers are with Pastor Pohl here in NJ. HE has always been an inspiration to me and my family.My son was just baptized by him a year ago. May God's blessing be upon Pastor Pohl and his Family.
