Good Morning - only now I see that it is afternoon...
we came in late today because I slept more than I have in a week and then we had errands to take care of. He was scheduled to have a CT scan this morning and a needle aspiration of the pancreas to look for infection. That was bumped to allow the n/j nutrition tube to be inserted - his heart has stabilized enough to allow them to do that. That should make him happy since he has had nothing to eat for 6 days...adding some food may get his metabolism working faster and that will help medications move through his system faster...i.e. help him come out of the sedation and get more wakeful so they can make sure everything is still working.
They hope to still do the CT scan this afternoon - it is still a priority also because his white blood cell count contines to climb.
So far it is a "good" day! And the pattern continues...I'm so thankful we have not had two bad days in a row! I might clarify that "good" does not mean he is getting better...it means he is either staying the same or not getting worse.
The day is only half over, so thank you for praying for the rest to continue to be a good day!

Jeanette, Rosanna and family,
I am a former colleague of Bob's at Whiteaker and just found out of his illness. I have just added Bob and your family on our prayer list at Calvary Baptist Church here in Salem. I will also share my concern with my brother David who is one of the hospital chaplains.

Jeanette,Rosanna,and Robby,
I was reading today about an article Aunt Roseann sent me about, "Spiritually Waiting." It seems that everyone is waiting for something. It states that a Christian Community is the place where we keep the flame alive amongst us and take it seriously, so that it can grow and become stronger in us. In this way we can live with courage, trusting that there is a spiritual power in us that allow us to live in this world.
I believe that all the Prayer Warriors are creating a Christian Community that's keeping your hope alive, for your strength, and for Robert's healing. God is our great Physician. May God direct the doctors and nurses to provide the best care in this difficult time.
Love to you all, hugs and kisses, Mom and Diane
