Wednesday Hospital Update
No real progress today. He still has an infection he’s battling. Because of that, they’ve pushed back the pacemaker until at least tomorrow, but most likely Friday. There was no real setback, though. It’s just going slower than we’d all like for it to go.
Yesterday he was in a very good mood – joking around and smiling. Today he was in some more pain and was exhausted. Needless to say, he was a little more grouchy today.
The big positive was that the kids finally went up to see him this evening. It wasn’t for very long, but I know Aiden was very excited to see his Papaw! He had a little more bounce in his step as we entered the hospital. I would have felt horrible if I had to tell him (again) that we’d have to wait (again) to see him because he wasn’t doing as well as we’d thought (again).
We’re beginning to try to figure out when and how we should return home. Do I leave Christy and the kids here and get home in time for the church planting class that starts Monday? Or do I just stay here and withdraw from the class (it’s only a week long)? How do we make whatever we decide work? Of course, the weather forecasts aren’t too promising for the weekend – so that factors in, too. I’m praying for a sound mind as we make these decisions.
I’m exhausted. I’m heading to bed. I think trying to come up with possible scenarios of how to get back home is starting to turn my stomach into knots and making my head hurt.
