Hospital Day #13 - 12/14/23 AM
(changing the way I track these posts, after 3 days at Baptist Hardin, 7 days at U of L & on 3rd day of U of L again )
Every day is a gift from Jesus!
This morning we’ve been enjoying the darkness instead of the sunrise in the UL Stroke ICU. Brittney’s headaches the past 16 hours have been the worst of her life. A darkened room and lots of medicine help, but your prayers are the best. Not much to share this morning, but we are rejoicing that this morning’s CT scan reveals no new bleeding on her brain!!! She just worked hard at speech therapy, a frustrating and exhausting task right now.
God is continuing to stretch and grow us. He is teaching us to see every day as a gift from Him.
Ways to pray:
- Headaches to diminish rapidly and to go away
- Good rest between the hourly neurological checks
- Continued protection from brain bleeds and blood clots
- Therapy improvements - speech, occupational, and physical therapies will be a big part of our life the rest of December. Please pray for Brittney’s strength as she works hard to heal her brain’s connections as the blood on her brain is resorbed.
Psalm 103:1–5 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! [2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, [3] who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, [4] who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, [5] who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (ESV)
