Today has been good, not too much to stress over...

   I didn't get much sleep last night, Scilla called me about 5 a.m. and about every 30 minutes after that. If I didn't answer my cell phone, she would call my home phone. Mimi and I spent our morning running errands for Scilla and then I went to visit her in the hospital ICU. 
Scilla  had a great day today! She looks and feels much better than before she went into surgery on Wednesday on afternoon. We know that the fluid was contributing to her breathing problems, but I also noticed that the swelling in her back has gone down; her back does not look as "puffy".
 
  Today, she and I watched movies and talked and she had me rub her back for about an hour. Her mood was really great!

    Scilla still has faith that she will walk and joked with the nurse about getting out of the bed and walking. Her nurse didn't know what to say at first, you could see in his face that he was contemplating what to say, so he made a joke and then said only the good Lord knows.  While I am talking about her nurse, I want to give a shout out to Marty, her nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU of the heart institute. Marty was awesome and I really enjoyed him and Scilla loved him too; with all the crappy nurses we have had, it was refreshing to actually get a GREAT nurse.

    Around 7 p.m. this evening she was moved out of ICU into a room where she will remain for about a week.

    I would like to end todays very short post with a verses given to me to read by Rev. Gary McDaniel. The verses come from Acts 9:32-35(NLT version) and reads as follows :

32Meanwhile, Peter traveled from place to place, and he came down to visit the believers in the town of Lydda. 33There he met a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. 34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up, and roll up your sleeping mat!” And he was healed instantly. 35Then the whole population of Lydda and Sharon saw Aeneas walking around, and they turned to the Lord.

I wanted to include a picture tonight and did a search for faith and this is one of the results, so I just had to include it, seeing as though "walking in faith" is the signature for this blog!

"Walking in Faith..."
