Bad Week

Terry had such a good week last week, but this has been a really bad week for him. He has not felt like working this week. He and Alyce went back to the BMTU at UAB today at 9am and did not leave until 3:45pm. He was dehydrated and his blood pressure was low. 82/58 and heart rate was 46. By the time they left it was 118/67 and his heart rate went to 108. They would not let him leave until they got it back down to 96. They go to the eye doctor on Friday to get his eyes checked. He is also still experiencing pain in his legs and feet. I've been praying for him to get better and back to a more normal life. I know it will happen but it just takes time. We had a discussion in our church family group last Sunday night about prayer. I strongly believe that if you do not have faith that God can deliver what you ask for then you might as well not pray. He might not give you what you ask for but if you don't believe that he COULD then why pray. Our prayers have asked God to put Terry into remission and God answered in the affirmative. Now let's pray that his health will get better and all pain subside to allow him to live a normal life again. One day at a time and he will get better. Mom has been in a lot of pain because they have debrided the dead tissue from the bed sore on her heal. The doctor did increase her pain medications and she is on an antibiotic. Her dementia continues to get worse. I was there Tuesday night and will go back tomorrow night. Love to you all, Karen
