Jason's fever broke and his oxygen level improved about 4 o'clock this morning. He is off the oxygen for now and we will hope and pray that he does not need it anymore. He is still breathing into the device once per hour to try and help his lungs along. They have heard wheezing in his lungs, so they will be monitoring him diligently to make sure it doesn't turn into pneumonia. After his fever broke, Jason began to feel better over all. This morning we saw the doctor and he is going to begin weaning Jason off of the pain medicine pump. He will take oral pain medicine instead. He is also going to start solid food today. Jason's doctor is having surgery tomorrow, so we will be seeing a new doctor starting then. We have never met him, so pray that it is a good match. If everything goes well, Jason may be released this weekend.
We have had some new complications on the home front. Yesterday, Kerri's mother developed the stomach virus and had to go home. She had been watching the children up to that point. Jason's mother took over, but this morning, she learned that she has the shingles. I am home for now with the kids, so I am thanking God that Jason is feeling well enough to be left alone for a little while. It is times like this that I am so grateful that God gives us His armor to protect us and His Word to guide us. None of this has happened behind His back and nothing is out of His control. No matter how many arrows the Enemy shoots our way, He is there and we can trust that He has a plan to handle the situation.
