UPDATE 6pm

Update 6pm 7/7: Wayne Martin is in the ICU (Intensive care Unit) Has been since they had to put the tube in his side because they made his lung collapse because of the small rip they caused.
They do not know what is causing his kidneys not to work. They thought that it was probably a weak heart...but the echo-cardiogram showed that he has a strong heart. So we are no better off then we were when he went into the hospital. The way I look at it we may even be worse because he didn't have a collapse lung to go with it before they messed that up.
Please keep him in your prayers. Spread it to your prayer lists etc.

Update 11:15am

Update 11:15am 7/7: He has a lot of tests today. This morning they took fluid out of his lungs. They were really happy with what they got out (Whatever that is supposed to mean). Grandma says that his color looks good...that is really good. His color looks a lot better then it did yesterday.
