Current Prayer Requests.

John is starting to feel a lot of pain.
The morphine they had him on was making him nauseous
so they took him off of that and started him on a different
pain-killer.

He'll be spending another night in the ICU,
because they need to get more of his levels under control
and ween him off of more of the "helper" meds.
So maybe he'll be able to move to the PCU tomorrow.

Because of the pain he hasn't slept much, so he's tired
and a little grumpy.
They had him sitting in a chair when I saw him last.
This is a good thing!
His blood pressure has been so low that when he stands up
or sits up straight, he gets really dizzy and light-headed.
So this is an improvement!

He was eating some jello and soup broth
and seemed to be keeping it down okay.

Please pray for SLEEP for John.
Pray that they can get the pain under control
so that he can rest tonight and get a good nights sleep.

It's hard for me and his family to see him like this.
We feel helpless because we can't do a thing.
Especially with only seeing him for 5-10 minutes at a time.

During my last visit  I brought my Jesus Calling book in with me.
I asked if he wanted me to read today's entry and he said "yes" right away.
He hasn't been able to read anything today.
It was talking all about God's timing.
How we can come to God with our biggest hopes and dreams,
yet before we get ahead of ourselves,
look at the present and be patient in trusting God's timing.
How applicable!

Since he can't read much, please pray that God will whisper His words into John's ears now and for the rest of the evening.
Giving him peace, strength, endurance, and patience.

Thank you.
