Transfer to 6 West

God's word tells us He longs to be gracious to us...and we can attest to His faithfulness to His word! He has definitely shown Himself gracious to us throughout our trying circumstances!

Last night at 11PM they were finally able to wean Ron off BP medication. He did great throughout the entire night! So today, he was able to transfer back to 6 West. When we heard he'd be moving, I went up to scope out available rooms. Perfect timing! One of the head nurses', Linsey, was on the phone with administrator in charge of room assignments trying to get his room. Somehow, between the two of them, decision was made for him to have the suite at the cost of a semi-private room!!!!! Amazing! This room would normally be an extra $300 a night! It's at the end of the hall (much quieter than his room across from the nurses' station) and consists of two rooms with a bifold door so you can close one room off from the other (perfect for working conditions!), a flat screen TV, sofa, microwave and refrigerator! We are so blessed! Thank you, Father!

They are trying to get him back on an even keel with his TPN and now address the excess fluid that has built up in his tissues causing him to swell up. His legs are huge, making it painful to move them. Obviously, it is very important to get him up and moving so that he won't regress any more than this little set back has already caused.

Things to pray about:
excess fluid
TPN balance
continued healing in belly
strength, energy, stamina
REST! (ICU schedule has been rough on both of us)

Happy Easter! Rejoice, He is Risen!
