Dozing at Dinner"Daddy! Daddy!" Everyone is trying to get Daddy's attention during dinner. Charlotte says, "Daddy, you're sleeping. I can see your eyes going down."
Daddy, Josiah just said, "The service was AWESOME." Isn't that funny?The last few days have been difficult as John's fatigue is increasing. He has a few good hours in the morning and goes downhill throughout the day. By dinner this evening he literally could not keep his eyes open. This is usually a sign that his Calcium level is high. His level is high, 14.0 today, but lower than last week. This fatigue also comes with significant confusion. This is the scary and sad part for me. It breaks my heart to see my brilliant husband unable to remember if he is supposed to take his socks off or put them on.
Laughter in the midst...One theory we have tossed around about the exhaustion and confusion, other than the obvious, is that perhaps John has the flu. Josiah and I both tested positive for Influenza last week. For those of you who have had it this season, you know it is awful: fever, chills, aches, coughing, etc, etc. (And did you enjoy that nasal swab for the test? a real doctor's office treat.) Josiah and I are doing MUCH better, but perhaps John is fighting it and has some unusual symptoms? After all he wouldn't run a fever since he's on Tylenol 24 hours a day.
This week, the week we walk with Jesus to the cross and meet our Resurrected Lord at the empty tomb on Easter, we ask for a miracle.
Life from death.
Nothing is impossible with God.

Have just happened upon your blog. We have a million mutual friends, would take too long to list. But know that another family is joining in the song of the Lamb as we pray for you all.

Margie,
I don't understand why you all are experiencing what is going on in John's physical body. Just like I don't understand why one of my colleagues(Roma)last night was in a motor vehicle accident while I was on call. Now she rests in the Lord's grip while she is in a coma and on a breathing machine. Her two children in the car have walked away with mild bruises. Her husband is in a daze as he puts his trust in God's goodness and grace.
I know Christ has both John and Roma in His grip. His mighty hand that created the Heavens, was pierced for man's sins, and has risen in glory.
We will continue to pray for you all.
In His Grip,
Dan and Sarah Lee
