As the day progressed dad was becoming more and more agitated. He has so many cords hanging from his body. If a nurse isn't coming in and "bugging" him, then a machine is beeping. He had to drink a couple of Barium's for the x-rays he had done today. He was able to hold these down... no vomitting today. Thank You Jesus! The x-rays were to watch the Barium travel through his system in order to figure out why he is vomitting so much. We should have the results of these tomorrow.
After his last dose of pain medicine he was able to finally rest. We are sitting in his room now. Jane and mom are quietly visiting, Todd is resting on the couch in the room and I am typing. It's quiet and dad is still. He is getting a dose of Adavan in a little while; this will help him relax and hopefully to sleep well without needing sleep medicine.
Todd and I are taking mom to get some dinner and then I will be staying with her again tonight. Mom is not afraid to stay by herself, but I am sure she would get lonely. I give her space by staying in the guest room. She doesn't ask for space, but I feel like she needs to "be by herself" and yet have someone close. Plus, it makes me feel better to know that she is ok!
Tonight's prayer request is for DEEP, restful sleep.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

ReplyDeleteCilla, Barb and I just learned this afternoon of your dad's condition. Our hearts grieve in hearing that our brother in Christ is having to endure this hardship. Yet we take comfort in the sovereignty of our Lord, and in the confidence that God will be glorified through the testimony of Doug's life.
ReplyDeletePlease convey to your mom and dad that we love them and that we will be praying for them.
Soli Deo gloria!

Cil, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Doug,
ReplyDeleteI hope last night brought the deep sleep that I know you all needed. You all continue to be at the forefront of my mind and in my prayers.
Today is a new day- full of God's mercies anew. What a God! He will not give us more than we can handle each step of the way. Mike and I are praying for strength- phycially, spiritually, and emotionally for each one of you.
You are loved so much!
