17 out of 28

David when he was younger and much healther.

David (and therefore my mom and I) have spent 17 out of the last 28 days in the hospital. David has had a terrible case of pneumonia that has become resistant to the antibiotics.

He is very sick and he health is declining at a rapid rate. With each day we find ourselves looking at a new medical condition. Because of David's complicated health issues and poor quality of life he is still a DNR, which means that he only gets pain medication and other support measure like antibiotics and oxygen to help his agitation. Right now he is one 2 cardiac medications, that are hopefully helping his pain level decrease, and morphine for pain. Sounds like most of tomorrow will be spent trying to eliminate source of pain for him since he cannot communicate with us and tell us what is wrong. I am not sure when he will be coming home. Honestly I don't know if he will be coming home.

For as long as I can remember, we have had the DNR order. It has always just been how we have done things, but now...its a daily action that we have to take... and that's hard. Its putting our actions where or mouths have been.

I am reminded time and time again that David is perfect in God's eyes and even though his diability is caused by what we call a mistake, God doesn't make mistakes. This hurts my brain. I know that God will use all of this mess for His glory.

Please pray for rest, peace, wisdom, courage, and comfort for me and my mom. Please pray for rest, peace, less pain, and comfort for David.
