I have been praying for "time to reveal itself" to us, or for "sure footing" and I think we have had some of that in the last several days. Jerry remains off of the Lebofed, for which I am thankful and pray that continues. He is frustrated as he is certainly very ill and in pain. He cannot talk with this type of trech, too weak currently to write, so communication is a real challenge and struggle. I let him know that he will get better, it won't be like this forever, etc. I reassure him that he will get better and we will go home to our old life and he will be a guy who has had a heart attack just like a million others out there. He seems dubious of all of this, but I constantly reassure him that he is loved and cared about by so many, read him your cards, notes and emails and let him know he does "matter" to many. Candace and the kids came yesterday to visit and the 4 of us went for lunch and family time for a couple of hours. Surely we will be a better family after all of this, and that is a positive outcome for everyone.
Specific prayer requests:
1. Gratitude for a feeling of "sure footing".
2. Continued prayers that Jerry will be comfortable and feel secure through this part of his recovery.
3. Continued prayer that he will not encounter any other complications, we certainly have had enough of them.
4. Prayer that our "old life" is now a light at the end of the tunnel. (with some new normals for sure)
5. Pray for him to get off the vent ASAP, as his lungs/ARDS are the most threatening to him right now.
6. Gratitude for all of you who have carried this burden with us, and to God for many answered prayers.
We feel your love.
