Last night for our devotions we read from Romans 8 verses 18 & 28 really stuck with us and gave us the encouragement to press on and that the Lord is near us.
We are still in ICU so that the nurses can keep a close eye on him. Brent didn't sleep much last night...might be due to his addiction with coffee and it not being decaf! So today will be a restful day for him. He still has this port in for his phorysis...it's been there for a week as of today...so he is VERY anxious to get that out so he can be more mobile. He has had to stay in bed since that was placed. So like any of us would be he is getting roomatism! Which is another sign that he is feeling better!
Currently as I type they are doing his 5th treatment of phorysis in which is to hopefully be his last. We will know more once labs come back from early blood draws tomorrow. They did wean his oxygen down to 5 liters yesterday and he is doing well on it. So they may continue to wean him down depending on how he does from here on out. He still has an insulin drip because his sugars are fluctuating so much. The hope there is that they can discontinue that and do insulin shots when he needs them. His creatine is better, platlet count is good and Hgb is holding strong-so these are all good news to us!
We know that the Dr's can't do this alone nor could Brent & I so we appreciate your prayers beyond what we can express.
Also want to wish Brent's mom Wendy a happy birthday today and glad she is willing to be with us on her day!
Love to all!-Trudy & Brent
