Well....it looks like we're in this for the long haul. CT scan this morning shows the pancreas is still very inflamed. And until this improves, Ron still needs to have "bowel rest"; which means no eating or drinking allowing the digestive system to basically be inactive so that the pancreas does not continue to produce an over-abundance of digestive enzymes thus causing further inflammation. We asked the docs exactly what does this mean and were told patience is the name of the game at this point. No one is willing to give us any timeline but when pushed the docs said it could still be weeks of in-hospital treatment. They will continue to support his other systems and make him comfortable. Good news is his kidney function is continuing to do well.
Please continue to pray for us as we seek God's face regarding business decisions, my work schedule, our time together, Ryan, Aaron, Kristin, as well as all of our family, and especially for Ron's healing.
We've spent alot of time talking, I'd be lying if I said we haven't had to work through some hard emotional stuff and at times been very discouraged. At times we've been tempted to ask why us? But, we always come back to---why not us? What makes us think we are so special that we shouldn't face hardships and trials. Jesus, Himself, told us in this world we would have troubles of many kinds but to be of good cheer, He has overcome the world! We know that God is at work, the victory has been won! For now, we try to submit to the molding and shaping He's doing in us. We can't wait to see what comes of this time...our prayer is that we will walk in a manner worthy of His call! That those we come in contact with will see Jesus in us!
To Him be all glory!!!!!
