Sleepy time Update

The morning after the procedure, Jethenro developed pain that got increasingly worse until he needed strong pain medication. The x-ray showed a very small air leak. Pneumothorax had developed as the docc expected due to the location of the nodule. He slept most of the afternoon as a result of the pain meds. He was then given extra oxygen through the night to help it heal. This mornig he still had pain, but no more pain meds. He also has elevated WBC count that the medical team is going to address. Therefore we know we are here in the hospital for another day. We have not heard the results of the biopsy yet.

  2. I was listening to an online sermon just yesterday, and a woman referred to this quote that God brought to her mind, when she was going through the most unfair and wrong experience while a missionary in Thailand, last year. Maybe it will be of encouragement to you.

    Blessed be the experience, however severe, that gives new value to the stone, enabling it to shine with living brightness! . . . {OFC 282.5}

    Keep holding onto Jesus, and his promises. He doesn't make mistakes. He has great things planned. Paul said, " I reckon that the suffering of this present time is nothing to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:?.
