Update on Greg

Well, it's Thursday night and the last 24 hours have been rather...interesting, to say the least. Wednesday night when Greg came home from work, he didn't feel very well, neither did he look so good. He could barley make it up the stairs, due to weakness and dizziness. He was able to lay down; shortly after he was settled, I kissed his head and realized he was burning up. He had a high fever, chills, pain his his back and weakness in his legs. After he slept for a while and still felt so bad we decided to head to the ER. We started thinking that maybe there were some complications from his biopsy...we may have been a little right...still not really sure what was going on. The ER doctor consulted Greg's urologist, and they thought it best to go ahead and admit him Wednesday and start antibiotics through the IV, along with an anti-inflammatory. Greg finally got into his room, (which was a wonderful, double occupancy room) around 1:00 am. I left and came back home so that I could rest a few hours, since I wasn't aloud to stay overnight in the double occupancy room...those are so, not private! I realize that's obvious, but you really can't appreciate it until you have the experience!

So, he was at the same hospital that he would have been going to today to have the scans, one might think that should make the scans easy...not so! He was scheduled to have the bone scan and CT scan at 7:30 am; mind you, he was not supposed to eat anything until after his CT scan. I spent the better part of the day with him as we tried to wait *patiently* for him to go have the scans. Finally at around 12:00, he was taken down to have the bone scan. I was able to go in with him, took about an hour. Not too bad, he did just fine. I prayed and he did his best to be still...that's what he was told to do. He commented that it's kinda hard to be still when someone tells you to. We talked about the fact that it's no wonder children have trouble "being still" It's like they are being asked to do the impossible...I think we might have a little sympathy towards the whole be still thing, at least for a little while :)

After the bone scan I left Greg to rest, while he was waiting on the CT scan, that was supposed to be at 7:30. Waiting is never fun, especially when it's something you might be a little anxious over...just thought you might want to know that very profound tidbit of info. I spent some time with the kids for the afternoon and then took them over to some friends' house, while I went back to the hospital to spend a little more time with Greg. Finally, at around 6:45 pm, he had the CT scan, only took about 5 minutes; the worst part was the delicious drink he had to consume before the scan!

Finally after the CT scan, he ate his favorite burrito from Qdoba, that I had picked up for him. He had not eaten in almost 24 hours...a super hungry man is not a good thing!

******Praise******* His urologist came by this evening and told him that the bone scan looked great and normal. Now we just need to get the results of the CT scan. Thank you Sweet, Lord Jesus for that answered prayer!

Greg is still at the hospital; the doctor told him he should be going home on Friday morning. He feels much better and is ready for the weekend and to see his kiddos. They do miss their Daddy so much. My favorite part of the day was tonight: We all put blankets down on the floor and piled up together. While laying there, Jordan told me that he hoped he had a dream about Daddy, Jannah added that she wanted to dream about Daddy too. That melted my heart; they love that man, and so do I!

Thank you my dear family and friends for your continued prayers and support. We are getting there, one day at a time, by the grace and strength of God.
