Thursday Night

Greetings from Room 6607

Praise the Lord! This has been a good day, because God is in change. We thank God for that!

Marty has continued to receive IV antibiotics and fluids. Her temperature has continued to jump around. The highest we know about today was 101.4. We have also learned that a first report back on the culture of one of the lines in the central line has started to grow some germs already. That will no doubt mean that the line will come out tomorrow and then we will see where we go from there. Marty has continued to experience fatigue, particularly after she has done some-thing: shower, take a walk, eat, etc. Being in the bed not doing anything is when she feels the best most of the time. But, even sometimes doing that, is not comfortable because of the dis-comfort in the right shoulder, right neck, left breast, both upper arms and both legs. It has not been a real easy day!

We give thanks and praise to God that this is the first infection that Marty has had in this process. We feel so fortunate and blessed that no more have occurred. Praise the Lord!

Go Colts – The door way to Marty’s room and the walls in the hall are now full of Colt posters and other items of encouragement. This is a Colts floor and the staff have already done some decorating, but the crew tonight love the additions that have been made by 6607. We will continue to say GO COLTS!!!!!

It is late, so we are going to close for now. Dr. Lee will be waking Marty up about 4 to 5 am.

So, we hope you have a positive night and a better day tomorrow glorifying the Lord!

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
