Friday Morning
Good morning to all:
Hope you had a good nights sleep and are ready to be about your ministry to glorify the Lord!
Marty’s night was better. She got about 6 hours sleep, with only having to get up two times. She does feel some better this morning so far, but can hardly keep her eyes open to do her devotions. (Think of that, I am not even preaching or involved.)
I arrived about 4:10 am and met Dr. Lee down stairs, just arriving, so we walked to the floor together. He then came to Marty’s room about 6:10 am. Loooong wait! Marty woke up I think it was between 5:15 and 5:30 am. At any rate, the doctor says that it is looking like “staph” infection one of the three ports of triple lumem line. There definitely is infection, as mentioned last night, but the type is not pinned down yet. The good thing is that if it is staph, she is already on the right medication. Praise the Lord!
Today, the central line is to come out and a pic line is to go in. The pic line will go into her right antecubital space of her right arm and stay away from both shoulders. We will see how that works. I will probably help her take care of it, because I understand that it pretty much takes two hands to do so, and she will have only one. She is also to have an echo test done on her heart to see how the valves are doing. That will certainly be a good test and a good thing to check out. Praise the Lord! The doctor says the heart sounds good, but he just wants to check this out.
The result of the Doppler Test yesterday and Chest X-ray Wednesday night were normal .There were no blood clots on the Doppler and no infection on the Chest X-ray that were found. - Praise the Lord!
So where are we? Need the confirmation that the infection is “staph” and then Marty will need to take enough antibiotics to kill the infection. Dr. Lee said that we would be in here for several more days to get that accomplished.
Marty tells me that her scripture calendar has Exodus 15:11 for the verse for today. It reads: “Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you – majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” Isn’t it great that even the earliest of Old Testament scripture is still relevant today? Praise the Lord! Further, I think that this is an awesome mini definition of our God, don’t you? Let us always remember that God is always “working wonders” in each of our lives. Some of those may be bigger than others, but none are more meaningful and/or more needed to each individual at the time it is given. God knows and God responds in His time. Praise and thanks be to God! As you go through this day, I challenge you to look for at least one, if not two or three ways, that the following are accomplished:
1. You see and/or experience God majestic in holiness
2. You see and/or experience God awesome in glory
3. You see and/or experience God working wonders.
Morning Prayer just came over the speaker from one of the chaplains here at the hospital and as a starter, she gave us all a good reminder: and that is “in all that we say and do to build up and not to tear down anyone or anything in word or action.” AMEN, AMEN, and AMEN!
Have a positive day and God bless!
