Ryan has been in pain and discomfort today. He was struggling to breath evenly, he was in pain when moving around on the couch and walking to the bathroom; he hasn't eaten or drank much of anything because both actions cause him to cough, which causes more pain. As of right now, he is comfortable. The nurse was out again this evening and the pharmacy brought an oxygen machine so after all the pain medicine, several breathing treatments, and oxygen, he is resting comfortably (I think).
He hasn't been awake much today but there have been a couple of different times where he's talked to me, or at least shook his head to answer my questions.
His nurse will be out again in the morning and he'll have his blood drawn. It is likely that he'll need platelets again, I'm not sure about blood.
Thank you Jill for supper tonight, one less thing I had to worry about today :)
Please continue to pray for God's blessings on our family and comfort and peace for all of us.

We are thinking of you and praying for all of you-strength and comfort for you, April, and comfort and peace for Ryan. He is a fighter, as you well know. You are doing an amazing job. The Ward's
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and praying for you often today, and last night. I still have my minor cough, and seem to have poison ivy, or some itchy rash thing...the moderate discomfort I'm experiencing is a good reminder to pray for Ryan - that God will continue to comfort, heal and restore.
