I talked to Mom this morning on the phone! When she found out it was 2/8, she wanted to call to wish me a happy birthday! That's a good sign! She remembered! =)
My Dad only got a few hours of sleep last night because of a terrible toothache. Today he went in to see a doctor & was prescribed some ibuprofen & penicilllin. But he is in great need of rest & relief from the pain.
Mom was moved to a regular room last night. Mom needs to be reminded not to pull her feeding tubes out. It's more comfortable for her if her hands are not restrained. If no one is in the room with her, they will most likely restrain her hands which makes it hard to sleep comfortably. So, Caleb stayed over night in the hospital with her last night. It was hard for both of them to rest since nurses came in every hour & from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. residents in training & hospital staff came in to check on her.
Josh just got into town a few minutes ago, having flown 6 hours from the East Coast. Unfortunately he is also still not feeling well. He was recovering but the travelling took a toll and has caused a setback in his recovery. His stomach is not feeling well & he is still coughing.
I will fly in tomorrow morning also. And will take the overnight shift for one night to relieve Caleb & Dad. And will return home on Sunday.
Please pray
1) that Dad will get some relief from his pain & be able to sleep well tonight. Please pray for a complete recovery from his toothache.
2) that both Mom and whoever is on night duty will be able to feel rested even with the interruptions from the medical staff & that Mom would cooperate. Please pray for her agitation & that God would grant her peace & rest.
3) for continued healing for both Josh & Caleb.
4) for my husband, Jonathan, as he will be with our 3 kids by himself for the time that I am gone. And for my youngest son, Ethan, who has never been without me overnight & without nursing. Hopefully he will adjust fine & not make it too difficult for Jonathan.
Thanks,
Nia
