We are grateful for another stable day for Seth. His lung tidal volumes have been between 120-140 ml today; double what it has been. Furthermore, his SpO2 values were between 85 and 94 and his Xray showed a little better aeration in the lungs. Otherwise, not much news, no changes in doctors orders.
A few days ago, I had mentioned how applicable the song “I Need Thee Every Hour” is during our time in the hospital. However, I thought that the song needed a slight change to be “I Need Thee every Second.” A good friend, Tom Bernthal, saw my suggestion and created a new rendition to it with some specific prayers for Seth included. Below is a link to the song and the comforting lyrics.
– Darcy/Ben
I need You every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Yours
Can peace afford.
I need You, oh, I need You;
Every hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to You.
I need You every minute
Your cross, my shield;
No foe can snatch me from
The love that Jesus sealed.
I need You, oh, I need You;
Every hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to You.
Seth needs You every second
He is Your precious lamb;
Baptized into Your Name,
Safe in the great I AM.
I need You, oh, I need You;
Every hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to You.
I need You every moment
Send angels near;
Let not the evil one
Come whisper fear.
I need You, oh, I need You;
Every hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to You.
I need You every cell—
Each breath, each beat;
Restore what’s hurt and lost,
Lord, make Seth complete.
I need You, oh, I need You;
Every hour I need You;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to You.
