THE Master Chef

We are still here but Mike is better. His energy level has increased significantly in my book. When we got here, he couldn't sit up for very long without breathing hard. I just watched him stand and make the nurse walk him step by step through the feeding machine. (Typical Mike) He also ate breakfast this morning - cream of wheat, grits, a few bites of egg, gravy, butter, jam, maple syrup. The machine stopped working so he took the opportunity to really eat.

This hospital stay has helped Mike. He has been able to get IV medicines for nausea, acid reflux and pain. Those were all the factors that were spinning out of control that led us here. The biggest obstacle to us leaving is that Mike's stomach/ GI tract is being sluggish and the pump is giving us issues. It may take time. Really we are just in a holding pattern, but Mike is doing better. AND according to the scale built into the bed he has put on some weight.

There are just praises all around and a sense of calm and peace flowing right now. Actually, I have felt an amazing peace since Wednesday afternoon. I still feel like we are in this calm right now watching God gather everything for his next masterpiece - somewhat like sitting in the kitchen watching as the cook is making a great dinner. You see the process of chopping, gathering, and cooking. You are smelly this great aroma. But not sure what the dinner actually is going to be. I feel that right now. But you know if God is the cook, you won't be disappointed!

Prayer:
Please continue to pray for us. That God will gives us direction. Where and what he needs us to do
