Today Jim did not seem to be in any pain. He had a CT scan about 930 this evening and it came back normal! The doctor said if all goes well in the night he will be moving to a step down room on Wednesday. He will be in step down for about a week and Physical Therapy will work with him to make sure he is able to walk and get out of bed on his own. He still has no appetite and the meningitis is really taking a toll on him. He stood up for the first time since Sunday and he became very dizzy and nauseous. He is very exhausted and sleeps for most of the day. Thank you all so much for your prayers and well wishes. Please continue to pray for his full recovery.
1 Chronicles 16:8 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

"Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the Gospel." Philippians 1:12
(but Jim would have written it if Paul hadn't first) :-)
HI JIM,
ReplyDeleteIT'S GREAT TO HEAR YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO STEP-DOWN. REMEMBER TO GET AS MUCH REST AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THAT HELPS WITH THE HEALING PROCESS. SO TAKE IT EASY. IT MUST BE HARD, ALL THIS WAITING TO RECOVER. BUT REMEMBER PATIENCE IS A VURTUE. THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH, THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN, AND NOT BE WEARY, AND THEY SHALL WALK, AND NOT FAINT. ISAIAH 40:31. HEAVENLY FATHER, YOU ARE AN AWESOME GOD. IT'S SO GOOD TO BE IN YOUR HANDS. YOU WILL CARRY JIM THROUGH THIS ILLNESS, & WE WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY & HONOR. PUT YOUR HEALING HANDS ON JIM FOR COMPLETE RECOVERY.
IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST,
JULIE HOYT-KESSLER
