Waiting

Did you stop by before and wonder about this post?  Well, the photo posted OK, but the writing I sent along with it didn't.  So, let me tell you why and where we're waiting.

The photo was taken in the Neurological ICU.  Right there Beloved Husband's stats look pretty good.  The blood pressure doesn't show the 185 - 200+ recorded in the ER the night before.  His breathing looks pretty good, oxygen levels up.  I didn't photo the breathing mask covering his face, basically breathing for him.  The photo doesn't show the multiple nurses, specialists, doctors, cleaners, security -- all the staff we've seen within 24 hours after his arrival.

So -- you can understand that things are not 'normal' in our household.  In addition to learning about myasthenia gravis, we've experienced myasthenic crisis, treatment with Pyridostigmine, which we call Mestinon. And, introduced today, plasmapheresis. The links exist if you wish to surf -- I believe that's too much information.

Tomorrow we print out and take some of his favorite verses to put up in his room.  We had them there in November during his first attack.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 KJV)

Another is:

I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. (Psalms 18:1-2 KJV)

The Lord has been, is, and always will be, our salvation. Especially now.
