Earlier this afternoon dad was moved out of the ICU into the Progressive Care Unit. We are thankful that he was stable enough to move into a more private space so that he can really rest. A number of different doctors have also assessed dad's foot and are hopeful (definitely more hopeful than yesterday) that his foot will be able to heal with proper treatment and care. The wound care nurse came in and dressed his foot so that the healing process can begin.
He has been awake and talking to us this afternoon and we are glad to see his personality coming back out of the sedation. Continue to pray for his strength and specifically for his foot to begin to heal on its own.
Glad to find the blog...a great way to update a lot of people at one time.
ReplyDeleteI'm thanking God for Tim's improvement....and praying for on-going healing and strength.
Still praying for each of you, for strength to stand the hospital food...and wisdom to take care of yourselves in the meantime.
Love you dearly! Jan Hill
Mr. Gilbert - I've only met you once yet I've been able to hang out with Katie a lot and Mary Beth when she had a short stay in NYC in between her mission trip. I know that you can't always base parenting on a child - however, when you have two amazing daughters who's hearts are as big as theirs, hopes and dreams are as vivid and wide as theirs, and cries for injustice are as loud as theirs, then you know that you are an incredible dad. Prayers will be with you for a safe recovery!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear about improvement today and the possibility of alternate treatments for the foot. We continue to remember you all in prayer.
