Angie & Jim

A Well-earned Day of Restby Jim

After the events of yesterday, the doctors have decided to cancel everything scheduled for today so Angie can just recover.  Her body went through a lot yesterday and just needs some time to rest.  Ironically, weeks ago, Angie had a CT scan scheduled for today.  Last night we got a voicemail from Lucile Packard Medical Center to remind us of her appointment tomorrow and gave instructions about when to arrive, etc.  Apparently, the didn’t get the memo that she was already here.  We thought it would be convenient because as it turned out, they wanted to do the CT scan today anyway, so we could just keep the original appointment.  But, after last night, everything has been canceled.

When I came in this morning, Angie was feeling much better and was just about to eat breakfast.  I was really worried when I first came in, because she was sitting in front of her meal with her eyes closed just sitting there.  I thought maybe she had fallen asleep or that she was in a lot of pain.  She was praying.  😉  I guess we don’t generally smile while we pray… maybe we should.  After she finished, I saw that she was is very good spirits and feeling much better than last night.  Breathing is still good and pain is under control.  When Angie got up earlier today to use the restroom, she commented that her body felt really exhausted.  The pain wasn’t bad (considering), but the hardest thing was just feeling weak.  She could tell that her body is just tired.  I think after today, we’ll be in much better shape.  CT scans aren’t fun, so I think a day of rest will better prepare her for the strain.

Thank you all for all of your prayers and love.
