Today he was moved to step down. What a difference. It is so much nicer. The room is nice and private with a large window. It is quiet. I will be cable to stay with him at all times now. Other than trying to regulate his body temperature (he's either cold or hot) he's doing pretty good. They did say it was typical to experience that during recovery. Hopefully a right remedy has been found for his pain medication.
God has answered so many prayers. I had a hard time leaving him last night so I stayed about an hour later than normal. I called in the middle of the night to check up on him (yes, we can do that) :) After that time I prayed and meditated on Scripture for most of the night til it was time to get up to go back to the clinic. I have a Bible on my phone and while in ICU my Bible was on one of the verses that I had prayed about during the night. Proverbs 15:30 "...good news refreshes the bones." The verse before it reads "...He (the Lord) hears the prayer of the righteous." It was encouraging to read those verses this morning after a night of prayer. The Lord has truly been our strength and I am so thankful for how He worked in moving us from ICU to step down today. Thank you all for your love and support.
The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. ~Deuteronomy 6:5-9
Praising the Lord for the great news. He has heard the cry of our hearts and answered our prayers. Oh to be able to give you a nice long hug and see Miah. Will continue to wrap you in our virtual hugs and surround you with unceasing prayers. Love you.
