Immunity Buildup Day 2...

First, we can't believe it is already Sunday!  The days begin to run together when you spend a lot of time in one place.  And, if our time is mixed up, Bill's days are certainly confusing!  :)  Anyway, this day has been fairly uneventful with respect to Bill's activity level.  He is still taking pain meds, antibiotics, and participating in routine blood work.  But, through it all, he is getting some much needed rest, eating a little, and downing ice chips.  Tonight, the nurses will provide him with additional platelets, which should help with some of the bruising that is showing up on his body.  As far as test results go, there has not been any updates with respect to his infection.  Treatment is still geared toward clearing up jaundice, sepsis, and an inflamed colon.  The up side of today is that he was able to shower and sit up in a chair after a few days of being bed ridden. 

Bill had another day with a handful of visitors and we are so appreciative of their efforts to offer support.  It has also given us a chance to catch up on lost time with friends...another blessing and pleasantry.   In between visits, we spent time sharing Bill stories which usually means lots of laughter!  He is such a funny guy and still keeps us smiling.  And, as we wait for Bill to wake up for a visit, we finally broke out a giant jigsaw puzzle!  Yes, we are at a point of searching for activity, although, this will change as many family members return to work next week.  Boo!  :)  Well, another day has come and gone.  We count our blessing and thank you for your continued prayers.   There is so much hope in our God. 

P.S.   Tyler and Jodi would like to say a special thank you again to Rob & Gary Standish for not only watching Talon, but taking care of a boy who has come down with a cold.  We owe you so much for putting your lives on hold for us.  Love you.
