Monday, June 22nd

I just realized sometime last night why I feel so helpless to help Dan. When his Dr. called on Wed, he said that we had a choice to make, treat him at home or at the hospital. Well, we chose home. And all in all I still feel that that was the correct choice. BUT, in the hospital, there is regular nursing and a button to push if you need extra nursing. I'm at home and I can call the on-call nursing but it does take more time and most times it's a different person during the on-call times. Please pray for great continuity of Dan's medical care during this new way of doing his care solely at home as we treat his gram negative blood infection.

And pray that I will be reminded to PRAY when I need help. God is my fortress and my shield, I will trust in Him.

We still need a solution for balancing of the nausea,crawling out of his skin and restless legs. Right now it's not quite right.

Dan and Carol, we just prayed for you as a team. I'm so sorry to hear about these latest challenges. I have occasionally had restless legs so I have a tiny idea of what that's like--ugh! Praying for comfort, healing of the infection, calming of the restless legs and nausea, as well as strength for Carol.

With love in Christ, Pat
