Today my wonderful parents brought our babies to Houston.
OMG I have never been more excited to see, hug, touch, kiss...anyone in my life than these 4 humans.
They will go home tomorrow and that will be hard, but I think we will be able to make it a few more days until we can go home and be together again.
Thank you Mimi and Papoo for this precious time!
Shout out to Ruth Molina for checking in on our furry babies while we are gone!
Yesterday we had a sweet visit from Bob and Karen Boggus, thanks for making the trip to check on us!
Also, yesterday David had a problem with nausea, despite medication to help. That continues today. So they stopped his delicious liquid diet (which he has enjoyed since Tuesday and only eaten 1 bowl of jello post-op anyway) and he can have nothing at all by mouth today. He's not hungry anyway.
He was sick twice in the night and is burping, but they want everything going the other way.
How anything can possibly come out anywhere considering his intake, is beyond me, but if you get my drift without me spelling it out, please pray!
He is making progress with his walking, standing, sitting, and ropin' steers. Well, okay. Most of that. So progress is being made.
I think he's a little (a lot) discouraged with his progress, so please pray to lift his spirits.
We are anxious to get out of here, but not before he's ready, if you would, pray for that to come in a timely manner. Like NOW!
Thank you for continuing to pray. And for your encouraging comments, and for the snacks and books that I'm using to get through the long days! We are so thankful we are not alone.
I have some thoughts for you and for David. First for David. I make no comparisons, but when I had my gallbladder out, I was depressed and Jesus gave me a vision. I looked up and saw Him standing above a hole with His hand out waiting to pull me up. From that moment I decided that what was done is done, now I am going to fight as hard as I can to go on with my life and get back to it as quick as I can. I not only recovered faster, but I began to work out and lost 40 lbs and I was stronger and healthier than before I lost the gallbladder. Fight my brother, ask the Lord to help you and fight, fight, fight!
ReplyDeleteNow for you girl, pray, pray, pray, and help him fight. "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16 Those are not just words, they work. The more you pray, the stronger he will get, the higher his spirits will get, and the harder he will fight. And ALL those things will happen to you as well.
I'm looking forward to you two getting home so I can come see you. I have some good cowboy books for David to read.
I love you guys very much.
I'm praying
