The CT Scan showed that there is no cancer in the brain, which is really great news! This means that the confusion and delirium of the past week were likely caused by a combination of more treatable factors: a lung infection, an electrolyte imbalance, and side effects of the medication. In the past few days, Janet's lungs have almost completely cleared up and she is no longer wheezing or coughing, and the doctors are working to get her electrolytes back in balance.
She is still much weaker than the doctors think she should be at this stage, which is puzzling to us all. She spends only a few minutes each day out of bed and simply changing positions completely wears her out.
We are so grateful for your prayers for us all during this time. I was reminded yesterday of the story in 2 Chronicles 20, when Jehoshaphat and his people faced a battle unlike any they had previously faced, yet still stood before the Lord and declared, "For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."
May it be ever true of us all that we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith... even when we don't know what to do.
Pam and Janet,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful that you posted that story in 2 chronicles 20, to remind us all that Whatever the storm, stay focused on our Lord and praise Him for all he has done for us.
Every day I am thinking and praying for you to have minimal pain and that He keeps you continuously focused upon Him!
I can't thank you enough for allowing us to keep up with your fight! Everyday it encourages me a little more that someday those I love will come to know just how awesome our Lord is!
thank you,
Paula Brooks
