Prayers
As I sit here, my radio is playing in the background as usual, and as usual it’s as though the DJ’s are playing everything just for me. Healer by Kari Jobe is playing and reminds me that Jesus is our Healer, I must turn Jake over to him. Jake’s had a hard two days. He’s neutrapenic, he has several mouth sores presenting themselves, feels blucky, the effects of the Nulasta shot make him ache all over, and he’s fighting back fever as hard as he can. He’s hedged up past 100 for most of the day and a few times to our designated 101 that signals our “Go To Hospital” card, but we are pushing the fluids, he’s cooperating, and somehow we get it back down to that 100 mark. He doesn’t want to be admitted any more than we do. He understands. At four, he understands what this all means, and that breaks my heart. He knows that if we go, he gets accessed, we “sleep over” there (as he puts it), and we stay for days. For cancer kids, a neutrapenic fever admit means we stay a minimum of 48 – 72 hours while we wait on a petri dish to give us permission to leave. We should have left already but just as we get ready to head out, his temp comes down a smidgen. We could really use some prayers because it looks like we will end up in the ER tonight. If we can just make it till 8am, we can go to our trusted 14th Floor Clinic side of TCH and get a direct admit to the 9th in West Tower. Otherwise, we go to the ER for hours… with all of the flu and viruses and stuff that he can not be exposed to. Please pray that we can hold out over night… or better yet, that this completely breaks. She sings, “You hold my world in your hands”. Oh, how true! So right now please pray with us… Father, PLEASE, I pray you take this from him! Amen
