Todd Has Improved!
| God has heard our prayers! Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. You wouldn't believe how much improved he is today! He was in such a bad way yesterday, I really thought it would take a lot longer for him to show any improvement but he has been up most of the day, he's able to breath better and the pain has subsided a bit. His fever is down to 100.5 (he told me he did go as high as 103 at one point this week) and tonight, he says he thinks the fever is totally gone. I'm just overwhelmed. God is so good. I'm just amazed. We have continued to pray for him hourly (or more) and we'll continue until he's completely healed. He's planning on working Mon. night but he's not going in unless he's 100% (if I have anything to say about it!) Todd said he really appreciated the prayers of my friends here at HSB, he says he's not worthy of all the attention. I said, "Well, they like me so of course you are worthy!" LOL! He has also told his children several times how much he appreciates their prayers. I decided a few days ago that we would do all we could to help him recover. Like the holistic approach. So I bought him a plant with huge vivid orange flowers (I still don't know the name of it) for something to look at on his nightstand. Orange is a happy color to me, so is yellow. I gave him a back rub. My daughter made him numerous cards and made him a potholder on her loom. He and the boys spent a few evenings watching "Victory at Sea", a series from years ago about war time activity. It's educational and VERY loud! They love it. I think all the attention and love showered on Todd helped encourage him, whether he thinks so or not. God sure has worked in our house this week in a very tangible way. I keep reminding the kids how God has heard our prayers and the prayers of my friends. I also know that the Lord worked in my dh's doctor, in prescribing the right meds to start the healing process. So, all these things together have resulted in positive results for Todd. I don't know how long it will take for him to fully recover but I realized today that I've been carrying the stress of his illness for many days. Today was the first day I didn't feel anxiety. I really felt peace of mind. Thanks for your prayers for me as well. Truly helped. I know I'm a dramatic person but this time it was very serious. It seemed surreal. I honestly found myself checking in on him to make sure he was breathing! God is so good. I give Him all the glory! Thank you again. Happy Memorial Day! |
