John did not have a good night - not just ice cream at 3am - but awake at 6am needing meds. This does not usually happen. The rest of the day went quite well. He was able to go to the massage therapist, get his glasses adjusted and look for a suit at Value Village for the wedding (did not find one). Then when we got home I thought he would be exhausted but as we got his coat off he said, "can we go to the exercise room?" So we went down and he walked for a few minutes on the tread mill. Not as long as yesterday, but the walk there and back is actually quite far so he got a good work out. I was amazed that he could do all that.
Then, tonight, the meds did not kick in and he had a bad evening. Everything had been given to him right on time so I do not know why the crash. So while there were some encouraging moments today, there were also discouraging ones too.
Let's make it one thumbs up and one down.
Prayer requests:
- that John will sleep through the night
- that the meds will continue to hold for the full one and a half hours before then next ones
- that his strength will continue to increase and he will be able to do more little things each day
- that we will find a suit for the wedding
- I have a very sore shoulder and thumb - (I think both are a result of the constant repetition of pushing the syringe for the feeding and meds) and that the Lord will heal them quickly
