Philippians 4:4-7 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
We had a long night with orders to take temperature every 2 hours but she is feeling some better this afternoon. Yesterday she didn't want to be up at all, spent most of the day in bed and didn't want to eat anything but did take fluids, but today she is up in the recliner and has had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and a bowl of potato soup for lunch. They told me yesterday that I could only give Tylenol for 24 hours so I called again today to see if we could extend that since she was better and the "fellow" on call said it would be OK but not too much. She has still had some fever but has only had 4 doses of Tylenol in 24 hours so is doing OK with that.
The children had planned a welcome home supper tonight but that had to be postponed and she had planned on going to church tomorrow but that's not going to happen either. We will do our own church service here again tomorrow morning and hopefully she'll feel better by next Sunday.
She has an appointment with Dr. Hoos here on Tuesday so we are praying she can improve enough that we won't need to see anyone before that time. Continue to pray that the antibiotic will do it's job and she'll see more improvement.
Love,
Barb
