Marcy's Daily Updates

Marcy felt worse yesterday. Culture results yesterday showed she had the same pseudomonas so she started back on the IV antibiotics and added Tobramycin, an inhaled antibiotic. Oxycodones yesterday: 2 at noon, 2 at 6p, and 2 with her bedtime meds. She has already asked for 2 Oxycodones with her 6a meds today. She asked for the vent setting to be turned down to 8 bpm late last night and that's where it is today.

Kelly was here yesterday. When Marcy takes Oxycodone, it is very difficult for her to keep her eyes open, so it is hard to know what Marcy is blinking. Marcy had wanted to practice communication with Kelly more, but yesterday was not a good day for that. Kelly and I stayed close to Marcy. Kelly also worked more in the sun room and cleaned the refrigerator some.

Our friend Barbara was scheduled to come give Marcy a massage but we waved her off because we had lots of other visitors. John and Karen brought more items for the next Encores and More consignment sale and visited for a little while. Mark, the landscaper, came and vacuumed all the leaves out of the yard - I heard the machine, but he was gone before I could look out the window to see what it looked like. Jake, from ClearView's Empty Nesters class, brought supper early and visited for a little while.

Darcy did homework after school then went to soccer practice last night.

No word from Matt in Murfreesboro.

Tuesday morning Marcy approved my column for this week, Going Green with Love, scheduled to publish today.

Today's Bearing: 1 Corinthians 3: 18-23; Application: To become a fool to become wise . . .

Daily Prayer for Marcy: God's continued healing manifestation. Total relief from pain and discomfort.

Lots of openings in November's Dinner Calendar.
