Jeremiah and I read Psalm 121 together this afternoon as we looked to the Lord for comfort and strength. "I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps you will not slumber...the Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand...The Lord will keepyou from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. "
Today was a little bit of a rough day. Last night he had a slight fever. Also, his white blood cell count is high so they believe he has an infection. They are running tests to see what is going on and prescribe the right medicines for him. They also did an ekg and the Dr didn't care for one of the readings. They two echos which show his heart and repair look great. Tomorrow they will use a better imaging device to perform an echo and get more detailed imaging. During the day his fever went down but then it did spike up again this evening. This morning was rough for him because one of the pain medication they gave him he did not respond well to. He was pretty dizzy and did not feel well.
On the upside; after the pain medication wore off he felt a lot better. He also has been able to manage the pain real well with one he can regulate himself. He told us and the Dr and nurses that today is the best he had felt. That's why this fever is puzzling because overall he has felt pretty good. Other positive news is that they really think he is ready to move to step down (we just need to wait for a bed to open up). They are hoping one opens up tomorrow.
The passage we read reminded us how the Lord is watching over us. He is our keeper and as we try to rest He is not sleeping but He is watching over us and keeping us. Truly our help comes from the Lord. Thanks again for all your love and support.
Ana
