Another roller coaster of a day. We've felt since Saturday something was "off" with Selah. Her nurse & therapist thought the same today. She was more grouchier than normal. She did do everything that she has been doing and she opened her mouth as soon as she saw the syringe of chicken soup! She did some good drinking/swallowing but still just a little bit. We don't know if maybe she may be "waking up" and that is why she is grumpier or if she is getting sick. She doesn't have any other issues but something is different....
I get really worried about her today. Jon was over with her and I just had to go over too. That helped me alot just to see her. I trust my "gut instinct" and I had to see her to know she was ok. She seemed really alert so I'm hoping she is just waking up more.
We also found out that Selah hasn't been accepted into the rehab yet! We hope to hear tomorrow for sure but everyone thinks she will be accepted.
We got back to the Ronald McDonald House right in time to be on tv again LOL The PBA had given RMH a $13,000 gift and they asked us to speak and thank them as we came in the door, on tv without even brushing my hair or fixing my make up after crying all day. LOL But we LOVE RMH and will do anything for them:)
Some good friends of ours whose daughter has Peter's Anomaly are here for their daughter's eye exam. Please pray for Abbi tomorrow morning as she is having some issues with her vision and they don't know what is causing the problem and what has to be done. Abbi was so sweet and prayed tonight for supper and although she is facing surgery tomorrow (at just 7 yrs old) she prayed for Sam, Sarah and Selah that they could all start talking! How sweet!!! It is nice to have our friends here!!
Well our wifi is not working here tonight at the RMH but thankfully our friends have a "my fi" and I'm using it so I can update!
Please continue praying for Selah and for us. Jon & I are having a hard time right now. Please pray for us too. We're just worried about her.
I'm reading "the Hole in the Gospel" and have lots of thoughts for a great interesting blog coming up. That book has helped me to take the focus off of us and realize how blessed we are even going through this time.
Sorry this is so disjointed but I'm trying to hurry. Thanks again for your prayers!! It means so much to us!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
Continuing in prayer, Yvonne.
ReplyDeletePraying for you! Our pastor preached this weekend on doing "the best of things in the worst of times"-staying the course despite the situations around us. J and I had to pray and ask God to give us a heart to continue the path he has chosen for us. Not that we have a choice really, but want to do it with joy and as a light to others. Praying God continues to strengthen you both and opens doors to share the gospel.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to send love and prayers to Selah and all of you every day. Praying that her progress continues.
