Back to a cuffed trach
For the past few days John's level of consciousness has decreased. Today, because he is not really awake his trach was changed back to a cuffed trach. This is to protect his airway. It will be changed back when he is more aware of what is happening around him. It also means he cannot talk but as he isn't communicating at present anyways it isn't an issue. He has not had a fever for a few days so they have also taken him off his antibiotics. Please pray that there will be a resolution to his level of consciousness.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
ReplyDeleteHe makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me ih paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me, your rod and your stall they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
This is what came to mind when I read your entry and I wanted to share that
My prayers are so with you
sorry for the typos

ReplyDeleteLaverne, I pray that you will be aware of God's loving presence throughout this trial. And I pray for wisdom for John's medical team, for an accurate and speedy diagnosis and for healing treatment.
Blessings,
Kathy
JESUS your loving kindness is better than life. "Do not be afraid" Those are the words that were spoken by angels to Zechariah, Mary, the shepherds in the fields and the women at the empty tomb. We pray for you, Laverne and John without fear. Let us enter God's presence with a vulnerable openess. "Do not be afraid"
ReplyDeleteLove in HIM.

Hi John and LaVerne,
ReplyDeleteWe've been praying for you all. And following your blog regularly (though still having trouble posting, in spite of detailed help from Tom). I hope this one works.
God has his reasons, though they're hard for us to understand. We'll have to wait for John to explain it to us. In the meantime, we'll put our hand in the meantime: "Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That will be more to you than a light and safer to you than a known way." Susan and Mark.
