Good thing I stayed the night. God is so good-he knows what are needs are. Neal threw up at 3:45AM and a little while ago had some diarrhea. I normally don’t arrive until around 9:30(IL time) so I was here to help him. The doctor came by earlier and said that one of the cultures does show a bacteria but they are waiting on more specific details. They drew more blood for additional tests. His white counts yesterday were -.1 and today are +.1 which is still super low (should be around 10). He is also getting some fluids because he is not eating or drinking much. Yesterday he had an Italian ice and that was it. He doesn’t have much energy to even drink much of anything except a little blue gatorade. He feels miserable. He still has a fever between 101-103.
The joy of the Lord is our strength (Neh 8:10) He does enjoy listening to some praise music to soothe his soul.
On the journey,
Trish
Dear Trish and Neal
We are all praying. We are thankful that we know that we can pray the words of David below, because like David you have taken your refuge in God alone and placed your trust and hope in Him. Neal is a man who seeks after God’s own heart; we pray he can have a sense of God’s green pastures and quiet waters.
Much love, Aunt Gene and Uncle Keith
Psalm 31
1a In you, LORD, I have taken refuge
9a Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress
14 But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Neal and Trish,
We continue to think positive thoughts and also pray, pray and pray more! Your name is still on our church’s Prayer Request list that circulates the congregation thru email. This is generating many, many requests on your behalf Neal. Let’s lick this little setback & get back to business!
