Bill Hanford Notice 6

Ginger called this morning. She doesn't have her computer today but has her cell phone.

Bill is still using a respirator. He can talk to Ginger. He is very uncomfortable. The readings of various gases are not what they need to be. He has some sort of pump that goes up from the groin area that she thinks is helping the heart to work. One of the important readings (she doesn't know which one) is in the 30's and it needs to be in the 20's. Most of yesterday he was sedated so she just sat with him.

Ginger is physically and emotionally exhausted. After spending the day at the hospital (the surgeon does not come until after 5pm) then she must drive 45 minutes to her sister-in-law's house for the evening.

Father God, please help Bill right now to breathe deep, long, and slow. The staff is saying that's what is needed. God, You know everything so You know what he needs. We ask You to give Bill what he needs for today. May his healing continue steadily and completely. Be with Ginger and sustain her through these long days and worrisome hours as she does everything she knows how to do so that the glory goes to You. Strengthen her for her days. She is running very low on her own strength. Father, to You be the glory, forever.
