Friday, October 8, 2010

John slept all night again last night... and had another bad day today. Much the same as yesterday - only a little worse. Tonight I have had to give him extra meds and skip his feeding. He is still choking and coughing and spitting up a lot of mucus. I am wondering if there is some pneumonia there again.
Gus came this afternoon to stay with John while I went up to the hospital to get more of the nutritional supplement I feed him. Also got a few groceries.
Then later in the afternoon we had a visit from some more Gateway graduates. This time it was Greg and Kathie Cox and their two younger children, David and Sarah Jane. They did their overseas mission in Peru and are now working at a Christian ranch outside of Edmonton. Sarah Jane, was quite young when they were at Gateway and had a special bond with John. They are here visiting their second oldest daughter, Kaylyn, who is studying at PLBC, the same Bible College that they attended when they were students at Gateway. Their oldest daughter, Sheela, is studying at Providence Bible College in Winnipeg. It was really good to see them but John was not feeling well and could not talk. He tried so hard to tell them things but his mouth would just not open for him to talk. It was frustrating for him, and difficult for them.
Tomorrow I had hoped to go to Abbotsford with Margie but that is too far away for me to go unless John is well enough to come with us. If tomorrow is like the last few days, we will have to forget about that trip.

Please pray for the meds to work better and for the congestion and coughing to stop.
Pray that he will be well enough to be able to attend the Thanksgiving dinner at Gateway on Monday.

Another two thumbs down kind of day.
