Well not alot has changed with dad. The culture they took yesterday has already shown positive for an infection. His white count is still up and from what I was told through mom still has a low fever. He is on an antibiotic.
Today he had a look of just being exhausted of being sick. It was different then the "i'm tired and didn't sleep look". He would cough and just sign like, I'm so tired of this and frustrated.
Today he had sitting out from breakfast, Thickened OJ. I guess it's one way of getting OJ. They are talking about taking away his feeding tube if he continues to do well with the thicker "liquids".
Mom wants people to know also that Dad is having the same nightmare that he has been having over the last few weeks. I don't know the details of it but he told mom some of it and it's not just colors floating around but an actual nightmare. She asked if people could be praying that this nightmare be replaced with God's peace, His spirit, etc.
Please continue to pray for dad and now this added infection. Mom is exhausted more now then ever. She has made a few coments how she will break down and cry after getting home in the evening. (which we remind her is normal) I know this week has been a lot more lonely for her and I think with the longivity (sp?) of it all its catching up with her big time. Please keep her in your prayers also.
Again, we can't thank you enough how much we appreciate all your prayers and support....for the whole family, us and extended. I know we don't really mention the extended family much but Tim's (my husband is Tim also) parents and Julie's parents have been a hugh help with not only supporting us with visits and prayers but a huge support with the grandkids. We have also gotten to see several cousins on more of a regular bases, which has been great to reconect those relationships and have that support. All of the prayers are a support for them also.
God Bless you this Lord's Day and Merry Christmas!!
