Hospital Bound

The last week or so the boys have had a virus cold or something like the flu with high fevers and congestion.

Well Miss Bekah has come down with it now. She has a mild ear infection also. So we were to the doctor's today and were going home on meds to recover. All was normal thru most of the day. This evening and into bed time Miss Bekah seemed to head down hill and then crashed at bed time. Her O2 sats have dropped below her allowed norms and she is having a hard time breathing. Along with this the also has pretty good fever.

So after call her cardiologists they are admitting her to the hospital to get her some help.

Please pray she will get over this quick. Also pray for Nancy as she is staying in the hospital with Bekah. Pray the boys to continue to get over their colds.

I want to say thank you to some dear friends who are helping out with the boys, so that I don't have to take anytime off from school. We appreciate all their help.

We will update you when we have more information on what is happening with Bekah.

Thank you

I just wanted to post a simple thank you to all who have given to the Rebekah Grace Fund.

We like to keep this blog about Rebekah and the great things the Lord is doing in her life and ours. One of those is the Lord providing for our family and Rebekah's needs. It is such a blessing to know that when we are not sure how to take care of our obligations the Lord has a way already planned. His provision always comes at just the right moment when we need it most. We thank him for his loving care of us and for his working in hearts to lead you to help Rebekah and our family in his perfect timing.

Enjoying the sunshine!

Home Again!

Thank you all so much for the prayers for Rebekah and our family during her heart catheterization. We left MUSC around 11:00 this morning and made it about halfway home before stopping for lunch. We made it home around 3:30. Rebekah slept from MUSC until we stopped for lunch, and she slept for about an hour after lunch. I think it was really good for her to be able to relax and get some much-needed sleep.

One thing that I realized I forgot to mention in last night's post is that the doctors recommended that Rebekah stay on her oxygen indefinitely. They firmly believe that the oxygen is doing some good, so tanks and tubes will remain in Rebekah's future.

As of bedtime tonight, Rebekah had not had another fever. We are hoping not to see any more!

Tomorrow Rebekah will be going to see her cardiologist for a check-up. As far as I know, she will also have an echo. Dr. Lucas likes to put his eyes on his heart patients when they come back from MUSC so he is familiar with how they look after a procedure. That way, if there are any problems that come up, he knows exactly how things looked when we got home.

Rebekah is on an every eight-hour schedule with her Sildanefil. We are going to try to make it 11p, 7a, and 3p. Any other schedule has me getting up in the middle of the night, or very early in the morning. We'll see how well it works.

Please pray for our safety tomorrow. We are supposed to get an insane amount of rain, leading to flooding conditions. That's the kind of weather I would rather watch from the comforts of our dry home! :) Also, please pray that Rebekah's fevers will remain gone!

Rebekah walking last week. She's getting much more stable!

Just a short post to say we're heading home! No fevers after midnight so we got our discharge papers. Will update more later.
