I thought for sure they would let me go today. No such luck! My IV infiltrated a few hours ago and here they come with their blue tourniquets – ready to poke away. I begged for them not to start this process again that I’d do whatever they wanted because it’s time for me to go home anyways.
SO – I have to drink 5 ounces an hour over the next 12 hours (which tell me how I’m supposed to do that when I sleep?). If I throw up – then they’re going to do a PICC Line. Which again – I’m telling them that I’m not staying here much longer so there’s no point to do anything like that. So please pray for me tonight and over the next 12 hours as I begin drinking my water! So far – there hasn’t been one night I’ve been here where I haven’t thrown up. The nurse watches me like a hawk. I told Monica I’m going to have to be a little more sneaky if I get sick or they will never let me out of here!

i have on my FB that i am letting go of false control.
should that be a hint to you…….
praying for you,

Hi Jody,
I was reading II Cor. 1:3-7 today and you came to mind so many times. He is the Father of compassion and comforts those in our troubles. Just a couple weeks ago you were sharing with me the blessing of these two little miracles. God is still in control and if he wants you leaving the hospital – he will make it happen. For some reason this is where he wants you now – so give it over to him and look for the blessings along the way. Let the doctors use the wisdom that he has given them and let your body heal. God has big plans for these babies. I was bed ridden for 3 months and sick (not as sick as you are) – but it’s all worth it in the end. 🙂
Know that we are praying for you, Jose and the kids. If there is anything at all we can do for you or your family, please let us know.
Psalm 37:7 – Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. As a control person also – I have to repeat this scripture almost daily. So my prayer for you is that you be still and wait on God. Take care.
