Welcome 2010! Today is Ken's Mom's Birthday. Ken calls her Muzz, so Happy Birthday Muzz.
And to those that were trying to get a hold of me yesterday, sorry, I misplaced my phone. And to those that were helping me look for it, I FOUND IT. Yeah. I am so happy that I didn't really loose it. I found it in my bed at the hotel at 11:30 last night. I had called the hotel yesterday morning to see if they could find it, but of course, they couldn't find it. I told him I thought it was in the bed too. Oh well, it is found now. So I can call people again.
Ken seems a little better today. I haven't talked to any doctors yet, but his stats look very good. His oscillator is down to 70% oxygen in and he is staying between 93 & 96%. So that is great. A small step that I will take. They keep trying to bring down his sedation, but he doesn't like it. They want him on less sedation meds, but he needs more than most people. So they have to keep bringing it back up. A slow process, but steps in the right direction. I hope they go slow so he tolerates it.
Since it is Ken's mom's birthday, I am going to go get her this morning and bring her to Denver again. Our nephew's and niece are here for 1 more day, so I am taking them all to the Downtown Aquarium. One of my favorite places. The kids haven't ever seen anything like it, so this should be fun. They live in Calif, but close to the Nevada border, not by the beach. Cody is 13, Jordan 6 and Rhonda 5. Ken will be happy that I am treating them to some fun.
So hope you are having some fun today too. Don't worry about Ken today. He is with the nurses and the Lord, who loves him more than we can imagine. Together, they will take good care of him.
Happy New Year. Bev

Hello Bev, We have not officially met yet.
ReplyDeleteThis is Carrie, Joe's mom.
Joe e-mailed me your blog so I can keep up with
Ken's progress. Just want to share with you he is in my prayers. What a very tough road you two are walking right now. ( and family )
I hope you had a good day with family at the Aquarium.
Joshua 1:5, I will not fail you or forsake you.
1:9 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid
neither be dismayed, for the Lord is with you where ever you go.
God Bless You. Look forward to meeting you.

Hi Bev,
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note to thank you for these great updates. You are facing difficult days with grace and aplomb ... I am certain Ken is wrapped in prayer - you, too.
Your comments about Ken's caregivers are heartening; so good to know these sharp, kind people are taking excellent care of him and his new best friend, the oscillator.
Sending New Year's Greetings,
Maryjo
