First, a huge thankyou for all of the well wishes and help with making it possible for Rick to view our kids wedding. They leave tomorrow for their honeymoon.
Rick is still on antibiotics and has not had a fever for several days. The cardiologists continue to monitor his heart but as yet have not made a decision regarding a permanent pacemaker. He continues to increase time without the ventilator and logged over four hours today. Going to Rehab is back in the conversations with the doctors but there are no beds available for patients breathing with a ventilator. The pacemaker issue might also deter progressing to Rehab. We are patiently waiting.
Robin and Rick, I am praying every day for a little more healing... baby steps that will lead to a full recovery. I know that God is faithful to hear the hearts of His children for their loved ones. Rick, keep your chin up and your eyes focused on gaining strength today. Don't worry about tomorrow, for it will take care of itself, focus on today. Robin, a quarter of a day at a time ... don't forget that. I am praying for you for courage and strength and a love that surpasses everything so that you can give Rick what he needs to relax and heal.
