This is the first time I've been on the computer since Thursday. Friday was the worst day, trying events, much going on, and Bill was more alert and upset. It was much later going home and the events left me wrung out, unable to eat much, yet still needing to phone. That was done in a long, hot bath to relax. Yesterday was a shorter day as he was more sedated and slept most of the time. I left during daylight, Suzi and I talked, and we went out for dinner. Today he is less sedated, and still on the respirator.
He is doing the breathing at an acceptable rate; they just need to see that his blood gas levels are adequate to do what is needed. Maybe he'll get off today?
Anyway, I think what helped was taking the time to catch up on writing out the verses for Jesus Calling. That just speaks to me and helps me focus on Him. Things were much better after that.
Today Bill is still sleeping quite a bit, but when he is awake, he seems to understand what is being said and respons better. Maybe a corner has been turned.
Thanks you for your prayers and encouragement.
