Today was for the most part was another sleeping day for Bob. Because of the MRSA infection, the care unit's policy is to bath the resident everyday with a bath that takes about an hour to do and change the wound dressings every other day. They have found that by doing this, the wound heals much faster. The report from the wound nurse today is that tissue inside the wound is filling in nice and quickly. Bob also had occupational therapy and a bit of physical therapy. All of these things happened this morning, so by lunch time, he was falling asleep holding his fork. I gave him my sandwich from KFC. He took one bite, then fell sound asleep holding it in one hand.
I wasn't able to visit him this evening. Zachary had his first marching band performance at the high school football game. He did really well. Nobody ran into anyone else. Zachary (left) looks good in a uniform.
I was able to get all of t's pictures hung in his room today. I've continued to play music for him. He got flowers and a balloon delivered today. Oh...guess what he thinks he does for a job. He thinks he's a farmer. The past two nights he was so upset that he didn't know how the crops were doing in the field. He was upset enough that he was shaking and angry. (Thank goodness he's really not a farmer; I wouldn't like dealing with that emotion every growing season.)
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
