Day 26
Ghost writers back. It was a rough day in ICU. Doug had an episode which could have been a mild seizure that thankfully Joyse alerted the medical team that it was happening. This resulted in a breathing tube being placed and a boat load of diagnostic tests to find out the cause of his mental status. Actually this is a good thing because nurses tell us he can recover from this but HE needs to do the work. We need to stay optimistic and pray. We should know results of diagnostics tomorrow and hopefully a plan will be in place to resolve this current issue. The comforting thing this is that he has been sedated with a good airway and his stats are good so he has an optimal situation for restorative progress.
Thank you so much for the transcontinental prayers that we feel and appreciate. We have been told to talk to him even though he is sedated so if there is an email you want to send we will read them to him again and again.
We pray for Doug each day for healing, comfort, strength and peace. We will continue to check in. We hope Doug has a better day today.
ReplyDeleteJane and Joyse: please let Doug know that the Bhallas are thinking about him and praying for his swift recovery. He is so strong and we are inspired by his courage and humor in the face of adversity. We miss the quotes! We are also thinking about what you ladies are going through - and wishing you the best. Sending love and hugs to you and all the Wheeless clan.
