I ran out of time yesterday to update, sorry for those that have been checking.
On Friday, Dad had a rough day. There is some good news. His fever was down, not going over 101 all day, but his breathing and speech were worse.
His best friend, Jim Reeves, and his wife Micah, came up from Brenham to visit for the evening. It is always good to see the Reeves, but Dad was struggling so bad with his speech and spasms in his breathing. There was a time where Dad was talking to Jim and he got hung up on a word, and could not get it out, it was like his diaphragm was spasming, and it took him 10 minutes before he was able to talk again. This is happening quite often, and talking really wears Dad out. His energy level is very low.
They thought that they would hear back from Dr. Roth's office on Friday afternoon to find out what the Dr. thought of all this and when he might want to see him again, but they never called back. We must continue to pray that Dad will be able to breath normal again, his heart rate would slow down, his fever would stay down, and that God would give Dr. Roth wisdom on figuring out what is going on with Dad.
I wish I had good news and could give a better report on Dad, but this is it. We are trusting our
good God in this no matter what, but we are crying out to him for some answers and some relief for Dad and Mom. (She sounded a little tired today on the phone.)
Thank you for carrying this burden with us. We love and appreciate you all, even though we don't know who all of you are, you are bonded to us through this and through Christ, JJ
