Today has been an interesting day. Terrell has now been put on blow-by O2 as his Sats drop into the high 80s at times. His cough has grown worse over the last couple days and after a fit of coughing he has quite labored breathing. He is retaining water and it’s causing his heart rate to be high along with his temp which continues to linger around 40C. He had his first (and hopefully the last) dose of lasix. His IVAD is now giving us grief so they are trying to clear the line but if it doesn’t work they will have to re-access which is not Terrell’s favorite thing, especially when he is not feeling good. Despite all this, Terrell has been in a great mood today. He was being silly, playing his games and we read a couple chapters of a Narnia book together.
I found encouragement in Psalm 119 tonight.
Psalm 119
65 Lord, You have treated Your servant well, just as You promised. 66 Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on Your commands. 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. 68 You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes. 69 The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey Your precepts with all my heart. 70 Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in Your instruction. 71 IT WAS GOOD FOR ME TO BE AFFLICTED SO THAT I COULD LEARN YOUR STATUTES. 72 Instruction from Your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73 Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding so that I can learn Your commands. 74 Those who fear You will see me and rejoice, for I put my hope in Your word. 75 I KNOW, Lord, that Your judgments are just and THAT YOU HAVE AFFLICTED ME FAIRLY. 76 May Your faithful love comfort me, as You promised Your servant. 77 May Your compassion come to me so that I may live, for Your instruction is my delight. 78 Let the arrogant be put to shame for slandering me with lies; I will meditate on Your precepts. 79 Let those who fear You, those who know Your decrees, turn to me. 80 May my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes so that I will not be put to shame.
**trying to sleep. O how I love him and I know that our Father loves him much more than I. ♥
