We made it!

Thank you for your prayers; we made it through the weekend with no emergency trips to Presby!



Monday's labs show Ron is definitely dehydrated. Today, we had lactated ringers (IV solution that supplies water and electorlytes) and pole delivered to the house. I immediately received phone instructions on how to administer and we got him set up to run fluids through over a four hour period. We'lll do this each afternoon for the next three days. Praise God, he says he can already tell a little difference after just one liter.



Please pray for our sweet daughter-in-love, Stacee, and her family. Ryan, Stacee and the girls have been in Flordia for the last week visiting her mom, Diana, and step-dad, Jack. They were due to fly home this morning but late last night Jack began experiencing intense chest pain; long story short they found he had a torn aorta. They performed emergency surgery, however, he went into cardiac arrest and died this morning. This was very unexpected and, as you can imagine, has left everyone in shock.



I'm so thankful Stacee was there and had these last few days with Jack. Please pray especially for Stacee's mom, Jack's older daughter, as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchild. This is an especially hard blow in that Jack's son had died unexpectantly in a drowning accident about 6 weeks ago. Stacee's family is having a difficult time understanding why God would do something like this. And for Stacee as she continues to boldly share her comfort and peace in Christ during this difficult time.
