Sorry for not writing yesterday, but there wasn't much to report.
Brady has held stable, and continues to show better numbers by the hour. He is getting all of his sustenance from food now, with extra IV fluid not being necessary. His blood clot has dissolved! Praise God! They have taken him off even more sedation, so he was awake when we came up to see him this morning! It was so great to see his little eyes. I didn't know that I would miss rocking him to sleep or being able to feel his hefty weight in my arms... The things we take for granted.
While being here, we've been able to meet some great nurses (this staff is incredible. We've yet to meet anyone we haven't liked. Even someone my father-in law hasn't liked... Miracles keep happening :) ) and it is a great example of how God is the author of all life. He is reflected in every person you and I meet. Everyone has gifts that they've been given, and when they are being used in the fullest, it's like getting a little glimpse of God that we aren't used to seeing. Since neither Brad or I have been gifted medically, it's just been wonderful to see how God is using his children in every walk.
We have so much to be thankful for today.... And they're saying he may come off the ventilator Monday! Our prayer requests are that Brady feels safe and doesn't freak out too much about the tube down his throat. Pray for strength for us as Brad goes back to work next week and we are going to be spending time with Brady 24/7 so that when he wakes up we're there to comfort him. Continue to pray for the recession of the virus. And give thanks to God that Brady is getting the best care possible.
I hope that you all are able to encounter someone with different gifts than you, and that when you do, you're able to see a side of your Creator you wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise.
Psalm 48:9-10
9 Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your unfailing love.
10 Like your name, O God,
your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;
your right hand is filled with righteousness.
