"Waiting on the LORD"

9.18.10

It's Saturday night. Rick (and I) are still here at the hospital. It'sbeen another long, busy day. Blood test cultures are still NEGATIVE, CT Scan NEGATIVE. Rick was accessed by neurologist due to headaches and dermatologist for his skin rash. At the end of the day, adjustments have been made to his meds which should relieve headaches and he is being closely monitored for any reoccurring symptoms that may pop up. The dermatologist confirmed Rick does not have shingles, although the rash is now in it's healing stage. His white cell count is still too high as of tonight- this they are watching to go done too.

*We continue to pray for total relief of headaches for Rick, that if there is ANY infection at all, that the doctors & nurses would begiven divine wisdom and discernment in discovering and treating Rick.
*We also ask God for His constant peace, trust in knowing He is in control, grace and mercy. (It is so comforting to rest in this placeof unknowing, yet, knowing it's all going to be OK. Rick is trulydoing good. Thank you for praying peace! Keep 'em coming!!)
*May God's will be for Rick to be healthy and prepared for Tuesday's bone marrow biopsy.

A deep heart-felt thanks to Jeanne & our daughters and to those of you who so graciously gathered to pray at our home today for Rick and our family while we were here at St. Joes. We are humbly grateful. Thanks to all of you for your constant support, love & prayers.
We certainly feel it!

Life & peace,
Dana
