Mike improved overnight, with his temp down to 99.0 degrees. We spoke with Dr. Sneed and he wants Mike to remain on the Levaquin for 10 days. If the fever doesn't completely go away, or if it rises, then he wants Mike to come in for some labwork.
Mike seems to be feeling better today. He is still having trouble with dizziness, and the Levaquin can cause that too, so he's needing to stand slowly, and get his bearings before walking. Sunlight seems to heighten his dizziness, causing his vision to become blurred, and sometimes reaching a point where everything goes black. So, I try to stay close by, or make sure someone else is with Mike when I can't be. I think we will need to further discuss these symptoms with the cardiologist in Houston when we're there. His heart medication may need a little adjustment. I pray none of this will impede the surgery.
Thank you for your emails, phone calls, and cards this week. You have lifted our hearts, encouraged us, and reminded us that we're not in this alone. Some days can be more challenging than others, and we tend to forget God is in control, when things turn out differently than we wanted. But we quickly come back to God's Faithfulness, His Presence and Strength, and His Goodness and Mercy. He IS answering prayer. But His TIMING isn't always our timing, and we need to lean back and trust Him. Mike and I will continue to lean on Him, to restore Mike to full health, but thank you for allowing us to lean on you too, to keep us propped up when the road becomes a little long and wearisome! ;) Your prayers carry us farther than you could ever know, and we're SO grateful for each and every one of you.
"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
