PRAISE THE LORD!!
Psalm 118:24 NIV • This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Well we have good news to share today.
First of all I want to send an update to let you all know that my dad's cancer test came back CLEAR!! They have tested all that they can and with the exception of his eye he looks to be cancer free! WHOO HOOO. He is however struggling with high blood pressure so he is working on getting that into a better range. He goes in daily to have it tested and they have started some medication. He has been walking about an hour a day...which is an hour more a day than usual! :) And is still working on his diet. Mom is now cutting the salt. Dad thinks she pretended to pass the salt shaker over his supper last night. ;)
Joshua is having another spectacular day! :) The nitric is now OFF! He is currently at 75% O2 saturation and his heart rate has been much lower. He is ranging 112-135 at rest. His blood pressure has been hanging about 85/50. This is good because to maintain 75% O2 before he had to have his systolic pressure over 100. He is looking super and is quite the wiggle worm. Brooke, his nurse last night, said she things he biked about 10 miles in his sleep. They are also stopping his lipids (fats), and his dopamine is now only at 3. Yesterday they stopped the heparin drip and he returned to just getting 1/2 baby aspirin. So lots less going in his veins the last few days.
So I hope that you will all take a few moments today and send praise and thanks to our Lord who has made all this happen.
Take care,
Leah
