2 days of rest overnight. I needed rest last night. I did not go anywhere. For some odd reason I’m waking up at 2:30 in the morning over the past two days. I am not sure if it’s related to the situation I’m dealing with. The melatonin and I’ve been taking at 8 p.m. has been working really well to get me to sleep. I am doing pretty well considering the situation over the past couple of days. I was forced to do an upgrade of my phone because it is not functioning right. The battery is not doing well. It only added about $11 a month to my bill which is not too bad considering. I’ve had this one for 5 plus years. The lady did tried to reduce as much as they could. I ended up getting the Samsung Galaxy s20 Fe 5g, which seems to be a fairly decent phone. I’m hoping to try and do a video chat with my wife I really want to see her face. Last night when I was doing laundry, I was praying and asking God to do an amazing miracle with my wife that would reveal the Lord Jesus Christ with the nurses and the doctors. They gave her another tpn last night for nutrients. They also gave her another dose of Lasix to try and take the fluid off of her lungs. The last time I talked to the doctor and they said that there wasn’t a whole lot of fluid passing. Maybe that changed overnight. Looking at my wife’s vitals this morning oh, it looks excellent! They are pretty much normal and her oxygen saturation is at 92%. It looks like she gained a pound so she is now down to 30 lb instead of 31. It is likely that the tpn is doing that.
I have been working from home this week. Mainly because I want to stick around in case something goes south and I’m closer to the hospital. If she moves to the next step down, I think I will be getting to go back to work and be physically with people.
I want a specific prayer request that God will move her off of the BiPAP during the day again and she will be stable without any problems with her oxygen. She still has sleep apnea. So she will have to wear it at night. Please pray that I have the opportunity to be able to video chat with her as well. She doesn’t even need to have to say anything I just want to see her face and smile at her and tell her I love her and show her all the cards that people have been sending in. I’ve been getting an average of three to four cards a day. It has been an amazing thing to see. I also want to show her the collage that our youth created in a frame.
Please continue to pray for my sanity. Although I am feeling pretty good today as well as yesterday. I’ve also finally had some peace over the past two days. I know the God is working, I know he is moving, but the man in me wants to fix everything. That is just in our nature as men. Continue to pray for our nurses and doctors that are treating for our loved ones with covid-19 and other ailments. They are very stressed, and they are very taxed, and they are very wore out. I really hope that my bag of granola bars that I brought over yesterday where an encouragement to the nurses and staff there. I hope that nurse read my letter to my wife. Talking to the nurse yesterday she seemed very nice and very loving to my wife and I’m pretty sure that she read it to her.
41 Action News interviewed me yesterday at noon. I took about 30 minutes of my time. Some people think that it was pretty watered down. To a certain point I think that is true, but I wasn’t going to do a story that would put St Luke’s East in a bad Limelight. I just wanted people to realize that we hurt on this side too. Things have been changing as I have been talkin to the nurses. It seems that their attitudes have changed. And they have been more thorough with communicating I’m getting the word out so that they would call back.
