Apparently, the three amigos in his
trach have decided they’re not going to play nice. That or someone else has moved in, too. He’s growing out at least 2 bugs, probably
three, and in a larger amount than he should.
So right now he’s on IV antibiotics, but he’s also looking REALLY
good. He’s even down on only 1 liter of
oxygen. However, through the night, he
was on a lot more. The doctor thinks
that he’s still bleeding down into his lungs which is what is causing the
higher oxygen need. Kinda hard to
exchange oxygen when there’s blood in the way.
You know, a liquid and all…
I went to church this morning. It’s the first Sunday, so it was a Fast and Testimony meeting. What a spiritual
feast. I am so grateful for the chance
to take the sacrament and renew my baptismal covenants. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to hear
and share the testimonies of so many other parents who are also walking a
painful and difficult road. There, I saw
another family whose husband and father has been part of Aaron’s life
professionally. But today, he was just a
dad, there with his wife and little girl.
This is their first experience here as patients. It’s a completely different ballgame, but one
I know they’ll figure out how to play well.
I know my Savior lives and He is what
makes it possible for us to make it through.
I am grateful for this journey.
It has taught me so much. It has
brought me so many new friends, both here who are physically involved in our
lives, usually helping Aaron, and those I’ve come to know and love through the miracle
of the internet. But mostly, I am
grateful for it because it has taught me so much more about myself and my
Savior. There is such a huge gap between
my abilities and what needs to be. But
that’s okay. Because Jesus makes up the difference. As long as He is by my side, it will be
okay. Because in the end, it will be
okay. And if it’s not okay, it’s not the
end.
The Lord hath been mindful of us:
he will bless us;
