Cannot wait for approval result but need to update. Cannot get approval result dynamic content

My flow goes this way.
 
- If its category 1, approver 1. category 2, approver 2.
- Status in Share Point list will change to Pending Review
- Reminder email in 5 working days. (get item, check status, check weekday or weekend. if status is not changed to "open" yet, send an email, only one time.)
- When approval result is updated, status in Share Point list will be updated to Open.
 
I'm having difficulty on how to update the approval result back to share point when it is approved because I do not know when it's gonna be approved? (No need to consider the time out case. My flow runs for max 30days.) If I put it directly under approval loop, my reminder email loop won't run until the result is updated. Am I missing something here?
 
And another challenge is I can't get my approval result dynamic content since it's in a loop.

    You can create a separate flow to monitor the approvals (results) via a When a row is added, modified, deleted action from Dataverse.
     
    This way you can also avoid the 30 day limit and you don't have to use loops within the create approval task flow.
     
    Matthew Devaney has a nice blog about this approach:
