Yeah! My night to spend the night with Ron...and it's been a busy one! I understand why he doesn't get much sleep! The nurse and tech have been in and out changing dressing; replacing binder & gown since tube feed leaked all over his other one; taking stats; changing out antibiotics; taking temp again (his temp has gotten up to 102.2 tonight and they finally gave me a thermometer so I could take his temp more often so they wouldn't keep disturbing him...I guess he handles it better when I wake him up to take the temp??) I confess, I've been tempted to be anxious but REFUSE to allow Satan any foothold here!!!!!
Sunday was busy as well...they've been keeping a close eye on him since his blood pressure has been a little low and heart rate has been increased over the last 24 hours. His temp has been up and down since Saturday night as well. So, they ran a couple of x-rays (chest and belly); did blood cultures and also did a urinalysis and stool culture. Stool culture shows some blood (not sure if it's old or new) and urinalysis shows infection. They are also considering changing out his PICC line, again. They are always an open port for infection and change sites often (this one has been in since Nov 25). Haven't heard results on x-rays.
He says he doesn't really feel any worse; other than a little weaker than usual.
Please pray for all of the above issues. And also:
Aaron and Kristin as they travel back to Abilene and finish up their semester with finals on Tues, Wed & Thurs. They will then pack up their apartment Thursday afternoon and move here Friday. For Aaron as he seeks employment; that God would firmly close those doors He does not want him to take and open those he is to walk through. And Kristin as she seeks to get school issues handled and looks for a part-time job, too.
Ryan--is going back to one of the locations (Southwest side of Ft. Worth in Cityview area) where he interviewed and shadow one of the employees for a couple of hours and meet with management...he has been offered a job and thinks he will probably take it (unless things are not what he is expecting after tomorrow). He will then kind of scope out the area to see where he might possibly want to live. (He will continue to live at home for the next few months, though). And as he goes back to Florida on Saturday (15th) through Tuesday (18th) to finish up paperwork at his old clinic and get all his stuff ready to be moved. (My sister Tami's husband, Ron, will fly to Florida and drive Ryan's car and pull U-haul with all his belongings so Ryan doesn't have to be away those 2 extra days driving...Thanks so much, Ron!!!!).
That we would each seek God's guidance as big changes come about!!!
Much love, faithful ones!!! Good night and Sweet dreams!
