So Very Thankful!
Today, after a morning away from the hospital for work, I returned to find a few things missing.
Matthew’s “Isolation” notice on his door was missing.
And two of the medications they had been giving him were removed from his list.
Thank you Lord for these steps in the right direction!!!
And a few things were added … namely some food items in the form of beef jerky, applesauce and Fig Newtons. This pleased the doctors so much that they reduced his IV food from a constant 24 hours to just 18 hours per day.Is it possible that Matthew can eventually head home without the need for IV food? Lord please let that be so!!!
On a sad note … Mom had a class to attend after teaching all day and then had the usual teacher paper grading to do so Matthew told her to stay home and get all of that tended to. He knows that if she could be here she would be!
The day ended with a ltitle silliness in the form of listening to various versions of “Ali Ababwa” ( from Aladdin) in various languages including Norwegian. After that we watched the Voice and were very impressed by the guy who sang a slightly rock version of “Tiny Dancer”.
All in all a very good day we couldn’t be more thankful for!!!
As always, we appreciate all your prayers and thoughtfulness and support. We can’t imagine getting through this without them.
