Day 26

Well, today has been rather uneventful here at the hospital. Dad's temperature is still up, his WBC went up a bit to 21 today. He is sitting up better in the bed today, and seems to be breathing better this way. I looked at another xray this morning, they said it didn't really show any change.

They decided to broaden the antibiotics again today and put him on vancomycin again. hopefully this will help.

His traction on his leg doesn't seem to be doing anygood at all. Mom pulled the weights off and told the nurse she was a rebel. Mom is a nerd... lol.
Anyway, they called orthopedics and told him that the traction being on there isn't doing good if the bed is too short and he can't keep his leg straight.

He is agitated today. He keeps waking up every minute or so, and then after about 20 seconds, falls back asleep, as if tired from fussing.

I heard a song today that I really needed to hear. It is called If you want me to and it is by Ginney Owens. The lyrics, I posted here, because they moved me to tears.

The pathway is broken
The signs are unclear
I can't find the reason why You led me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I will go through the valley If You want me to

Now I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
And if all of these trials can make me like You
I will go through the fire If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen'
Cause it leads me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
Only that I'll never go alone
When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley If You want me to

I love this song. It just makes so much sense right now...

I love you all... thank you so much for the continued messages and notes in both my email box and on this blog.

All of my love. Keep praying!Please!

Love Megan
