Today is another healing day, cell by cell, neuron by neuron, and step by step (as mentioned by a fellow dance friend).
I feel like Seth’s storms seem to be a little less frequent, but his body is routinely, and as needed, filled with meds to control pain, blood pressure, heart rate, muscle relaxers, laxatives, and low grade fevering.
He still needs your prayers to get through every single minute.
For those wondering, there is someone with Seth 99% of the time during the day and 100% of the nights there is someone that sleeps on a chair that extends into a sort- of-bed next to him. Unlike the day limit of 2 people in the room at a time, the night shift is one person and can be nerve-wracking sometimes. Although it’s much less chaotic than the first month of being in the ICUs, they are not relaxing nights. Every night Dave and I pray Luther’s evening prayer to Seth, which includes “Let thy Holy angels be with us, that the wicked foe have no power over us.” One of the early pictures we brought in to the trauma ICU room was a picture of an angel over a hospital bed that I found on Pinterest*. I have no idea what angels look like but I thought this one at least helped me vision this prayer a little better.
Through my faith and what I know Seth’s faith is, I have no doubt that God is with him through all of this, 100% of the time, because He tells us, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” And that’s a promise I will hang on to.
