#2 Update


Hey so Amanda here =) Okay so Dad is still in the hospital and is looking to be discharged. He spent the night here and was cough free. He had a nebulizer treatment around midnight and after that was put on the hospital's BPAP machine and tried to go to sleep at 1:45. At 3:30 he woke up and realized the machine wasn't working properly and we called the respiratory man. We ended up hooking up our BPAP machine with their mask, since we forgot our mask earlier that night. He had one more nebulizer treatment and was ready to go back to sleep at 4:45. Doc Mays greeted us in the morning and let us know what was going to happen today. Dad's breathing is doing much better and all the congestion is out of his lungs. This is mostly to due to the nebulizer which Doctor Mays ordered for us to have at home. Right now we are in the process of getting him discharged. We are waiting on his flu and pneumonia shots. The process of getting him discharged can take 5-8 hours, so we are trying to get thing moving so dad can get home to his bed and have a good night's sleep. This morning I was blessed by texts and emails from friends just encouraging our family with scriptures and many, many prayers. Thank you! God is in control of this situation and he remains faithful throughout this time. These texts and emails of encouragement have hammered those truths further into my heart and that is the biggest demonstration of care.



Hope you enjoyed the photobooth pics! We got a couple of 1 am laughs out of it.

Love,

~Amanda
