Somehow this November and now December has been a Roller Coaster for us.
We have good days and bad days and a whole lot of the In Between.
Update on Dave..
Yesterday started out pretty good and went steadily down hill from there.
His Primary Care Dr. wasn't happy with the lack of action with the drain by his kidney and liver. He had read all the reports and tests and wants to have the surgeons call us to discuss either replacing the drain or surgery. That put Dave into a tailspin as well as me. He just can't take too much pain. So the rest of the day was filled with stress and pain. By last night I was not a happy camper. Lots of prayer from so many friends and family.
And you know what?
We slept well!
Both in the family room recliners and there was peace. One time up at 1:30AM and then solid sleep until 7:30am. We were both stiff but the pain for Dave was so much less.
Waiting to see what today holds as well as the next few days. Drain is suppose to be maybe removed on the 11th, but that's a whole week away. Don't know that we can handle that long of a wait to see the surgeons in person.. to be continued.
I have to admit..
Life is better after a long undisturbed block of sleep.
THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT IN THE DARKEST OF DAYS
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

So far so good. I know the waiting is so bad as well. Please keep us posted!
I too think life is better after a good sleep. Praying for you and Dave. Thank you for taking the time to link up.
I am glad you had a few hours of sleep - things look a little better. I am not sure what is going on and I am sure do you don't either. God does. So we MUST keep praying.
A good sleep really does help. So do the prayers of friends and family! We'll keep praying!
A good solid sleep works wonders for me!
Dear Father God, I come to You with faith and trust, grateful for Your love and the gift of life through Jesus. I lift up Dave, asking for Your healing touch. You know his needs, and I trust in Your power to restore him, whether through miracles or the wisdom of medical professionals.
Your Word assures us that You are with us in every circumstance (Psalm 23:4) and that You work all things for good (Romans 8:28). May Sue find comfort in knowing You are present and active in this situation. AMEN!
I do believe that a good sleep makes most anything more bearable. That said, however, waiting is the WORST. Joining with your friends and family in prayer -- for the two of you, as well as Dave's team of doctors. Hugs!
Praying for you both daily and more than once a day now. Love and lots of prayers....
Keeping you both in my prayers. I pray you can get some solid answers that will truly help him soon. I know what you mean about 'solid sleep'. I've not been getting enough of that lately either, and this morning I did manage to sleep in for a little longer than normal and that was so nice. My body said "thank you!". May God give you both the strength to keep going and the peace of mind in knowing that He is in control, and He will take care of this. (((hugs)))
A good night's sleep makes one more able to face the day. I am still praying for you.
Sue, what a wonderful pleasure to hear you and Dave's voices today in our phone visit. Just had you on our minds so much, that Don said....Let's just call and I found you phone # in an old adress book! PTL. We will continue to pray for both of you as you feel the stress and pain of your dearest too. Love and Hugs.
The waiting is the hardest part sometimes. Glad to hear you both had another good nights sleep.
Oh my.....I am definitely keeping you both in my prayers...so sorry that you all are going through this...I know it is exhausting. Prayers for a complete healing. Hoping every day forward will be good and that Dave will be pain free. hugs to you and to Dave.
I agree, when our world rocks and rolls and dips and spins, its always more bearable if we get a good sleep. you do not want to meet me if I had a bad nights sleep. cranky is not a strong enough word. prayers that there will be relief without another surgery. hugs and love
I hope by now you’ve both had another good night’s sleep and know what will be happening to help Dave!
Sending prayers!! Hoping they can help your Dave...hang in there sweet friend!!
hugs
Donna

I'm so sorry to hear this. Keeping him in my prayers. Glad you slept well. ((Hugs))
I am going through a roller coaster of things too.
I'm so sorry Dave is having to go through this. Praying for answers and healing.
A good night's sleep does help make things feel a little bit rosier in the morning, and I'm glad you both slept well.
Loved "THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT IN THE DARKEST OF DAYS." That is so true.
