Prayer Wall

Per Barb: 4/13/2024
Morning report. Last night from about 8 - 12 was a nightmare. Too hard to go into details but he refused a new IV and then refused medication because he didn't trust who made it or what was in it. He was very confused. Kept wanting to go home which he said was only 3 hours away because we were in Cincinnati, but then he  wasn't in the hospital, he was home. He was so confused. After about 4 hours of my trying to convince him, he finally took the medicine. No idea why? And we went to bed. We both passed out. Today he has been cooperative so far. Nurse tried three or four times to put one in but no success. She was going to see if they have time to do an ultrasound IV, whatever that is. Dr. Came in while I was writing this. They got the results of the culture and it responds to the general antibiotics they are using. She is hoping  to get one more day of intravenous medication and he can probably go home  tomorrow. If they ever get an IV in and he pulls it out, they will just switch him to oral which isn't quite as good. I think that  the condensed version of what is going on today. The lady that walked him yesterday came in but it was when he was getting poked for an IV and said she would be back tomorrow. More later.

Barb (SIL) sent this at 10:46 am on my Brother, Jerry! K:
He slept all day yesterday but last night he kept trying to get out of bed but is hooked up to lots of machines so can't get out of bed. And then he was trying to pull off the wrappings around the IVs in his arm but I managed to stop him. It's usually as he feels better he starts doing that.. Dr. came in this morning and said h\there is bacteria growing on urine culture and infection in his prostate. Still running a light fever and is just going to eat breakfast. Looks like he will be here a couple more days at least. Cathy just came to relieve me so I can go home and take a shower and a nap. I will try to be better at keeping you posted but if I don't, just remind me. (w/ heart emoji)

Update on my brother, Jerry Schroy
April 11, 2024 - Jerry had blood in his urine so took him to the doctor this morning. He said possibly passed a kidney stone or UTI. Sent him for an X-ray and urine sample. About 8:30 pm he started with a fever and it shot up to 102.5. He was extremely restless and flailing his arms and rolling around. Anyway, I called 911 and we are  now at the ER.
About 3:12 am:
They are starting him on 2 antibiotics. I told them he is just getting better from c-diff.
About 7:40 am:
They just admitted him. Possible UTI and possible pneumonia. I believe the UTI and question the pneumonia. I hope this is a short stay. He does not do well in hospitals.
About 7:53 am
Pray that all the antibiotics don't bring back the c-diff.

Please pray for Jerome, my neighbor who surrendered his life to Jesus several months ago,as he is going in today, Friday the 8th, for a much stronger chemo treatment. His prognosis is not good. I'm very thankful that one of his relatives will be staying with him as he recovers from this treatment. May he sense God's presence.
Praying God's truths. ”For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Steph Bretz has COVID with a 102.2 fever. And she isn't feeling good at all. Pray for her!

Update on my Brother, Jerry Schroy:
He isn't doing real good. His c.diff has gotten a little worse again and he is very sleepy today. But lately there seems to be a pattern, one day sleepy and grumpy, one day better.
Pray for the clearing up of the c.diff issue. Thanks ahead for the prayers! Kay

My friend, Stephanie Bretz's husband, Rick's Father, Russell needs prayer:
Rick Bretz's dad was taken to the hospital with a blood clot keeping flow to the kidney. They will decide if he needs surgery or the blood thinner to get rid of the clot (50-50 chance of that working.) So, let's hope it all works out today. Please pray for him. He is in a lot of pain AND a little scared. Next is 2nd communication:
Rick's father's name is Russell. He will not have surgery. He is a high risk. So it is hoped that the blood thinner will keep the clot from getting bigger and if lucky will absorb to a better place. He admitted he was lax on the taking of the blood thinner to not be clear of the change from the doctor. He will stay over one more night so they can keep an eye on him. Steph

Prayer for our daughter Kendra Morrow
She was admitted to the James last night.
They did some test today they said she may have has a heart attack and they found her heart was working at only 30%.
She is going to have a heart catheter check tomorrow
Pray for her the Dr and her family
