Daryl wanted me to give this message to you:
"As much as I'd like to report progress again, this has been my roughest day yet. Some have left voicemails and emails for me....please forgive me for not responding yet. I've been too short of breath and fatigued to carry on a conversation for any length of time. (I know you understand...) Apparently I've had a bit of a setback, but am assured that I'll get through this."

He's really not felt well today - sweats, lethargy, sleepiness, etc. While his surgical team isn't overly concerned, one of them has really listened to Daryl's concerns and is evaluating his lungs with x-ray and blood workups just to be sure they're not missing anything. Another one of the Surgeon's colleagues gave Daryl a much-needed pep talk this afternoon.
It's been an emotionally draining day for me. Guess I got a bit discouraged by Daryl's discouragement (well, not to mention pregnancy hormones, lack of sleep, etc.).
No pathology results today - and to be honest, I'm thankful. One thing at a time.
Looking forward to the "turn-around" that all the RNs and physicians say will come. Thanks for your encouraging words posted here and to our emails. Always good to be reminded that you're in this with us.
Good night from Baltimore, where the rain comes down just like it's doing there. God Bless You!
We are praying against discouragement, pain, fatigue and Satan trying to drag you down and have enlisted other prayer warriors. When you can do no more, hold on to God's unchanging and powerful hand. Remember the footprints in the sand! He will NEVER forsake you! Praying that God will shower you both with incredible peace in this tough and unsettling time. Love you both! Elaine
ReplyDeleteWendy and Daryl, Terry and I prayed for you tonight at the NoHP and I am also agreeing with Elaine's prayers -and looking for your turnaround! - we love you both, ls
ReplyDeletePsalm 91:9-16 If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your dwelling. For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on an stone. You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The Lord says, " I will rescue those Who LOVE ME. I will protect those who trust in my name. When They call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation.
ReplyDeleteI can't add anything more than what Elaine and mom said...just standing in agreement.

Daryl, Be strong buddy! You were such a source of strength and reassurance to me when my Dad was sick and in the hospital. God has given you the true gift of being a helper, but it's time now for you to relax and let others who have that gift to help you! Even though we can't be in Baltimore with you, know that we are with you in spirit and especially prayer! Ann Anderson
ReplyDeleteWendy and Daryl, we have been praying for you both! So sorry that Daryl is not feeling well yet and rebounding the way he had hoped, but fear not I am sure that is coming soon!
