Monday Afternoon

The highs and lows...3:30 PM

We will be in ICU again tonight. Dad has been very lethargic again today and is running a low fever. He seems to have energy for the first couple of hours of the day and then runs out of steam. His legs are still very swollen and he can't seem to get rid of the fluid. This morning the chest x-ray looked clear and this afternoon it looks like he has fluid in his lungs. He is still coughing up some blood we assume from the resection.

He had several visitors today and that may have worn him out as well. When people ask how he is doing he replies; "OK, I reckon". He doesn't seem to believe it. He was joking with the phlebotomist. He said, "Are you ready Mr. Jones?" and Dad said, "Yeah, I just hope you know what you are doing"

It is hard to see him robust at one minute and very sickly the next.
We will pray for a good evening and hope the med team can get these maladies under control.

A friend emailed this the other day...
Jesus told his disciples.......you should always pray and not give up! Cry out to him day and night.

God is good!
