God's timing

Okay, after that last post I have decided that Christy is not coming anywhere near this keyboard tonight.  And possibly not tomorrow either.  Let's just say that the last several hours have been quite troublesome.  She got to speak to Casey on the phone for a little bit, but all the meds are still having their effect on her.  Just after snapping this photo, I had to hold the phone for her; her strength was quickly giving out.

Just after that is when things got difficult.  I won't go into detail, but I was getting stretched thin.  I was heading down to the cafeteria to get something to eat, and the second I step outside our room, a very dear friend, Jack, from church was coming down the hall.  No one has more perfect timing than God.  So Jack hung around just long enough to get me some chow and pray with us.  It was everything I needed at exactly the right time.  It could not have been more perfect.

Christy is still on contact isolation, so disposable gowns and gloves are worn when in the room.  For those who may not know, everytime you cross the threshold, you wash your hands and put on a new gown and gloves.  I've got it relatively easy:  I don't have to wear a mask or bonnet or shoe covers.  That makes a difference.  I can't kiss her.  Probably shouldn't hug her.  When I touch her, I'm wearing gloves.  I'm really missing that stuff.

The Attending just agreed to change her pain med.  The old stuff was knocking her out.  So that gives a little hope to me getting her out of the bed tomorrow.  I'm setting our next milestone at getting her catheter removed.  Getting that removed is the next big step.  But to do that, she's got show that she can walk around and be mobile.  Please pray for these things.

I just ate some half decent sushi from the cafeteria for a late snack.  It wasn't all that bad, but I have definitely had better.  Now that Christy is winding down, I'm going to get cleaned up and get ready to go to sleep.  Bis morgen bei freundin.
