I finally was able to speak with TJ's nurse this afternoon. He is doing well. His chest x-ray was stable from yesterday, catheter pulled and is weaning off of the oxygen. He is very fatigued. And does not want to see anyone today. Our hope is that with rest he will be ready for discharge tomorrow.
Prayers requests:
- Continued on the healing trajectory.
- Smooth discharge planning. Could you ask for favor in my direction in the discharge planning? (I am a nurse :) ) I would like TJ to be discharged with Oxygen due to the altitude difference in the mountains from our usual low midwestern altitude.
- No gut side effects from the massive doses of antibiotics.
We are so grateful for you joining with us in this battle. Your prayers on TJ's behalf have played a critical part in this journey.
One of the blessings of being surrounded by people who pray is also hearing how the Lord has spoken to them on our behalf.
Below is a tender message I received today from my friend B:
"I was just cutting the lawn at the farm and the wind started and I again knew I was in GOD'S presence. Then you and TJ came to mind and I felt you stepped into a new level of His Presence. That wind on the Bridge your were on has stopped.
Here is what the bridge looked like:
You are on the other side now. I sense Peace and Knowing."
We are so grateful,
Mary Ann...maegan
