Back to VGH

A major disappointment this evening. Robert came back from his xrays at UBC not feeling well at all. He has a pretty high fever and another bladder infection of the same type he had before. He needs to be on an IV to treat this type, and they do not insert IVs here at GF. The doctor was finally up to see him tonight and is sending him back to VGH to have an IV put in. Robert will likely end up spending a day in emergency, tnen possible up to a ward. He may be back here in two days, or he may have to wait a week or more which means he would lose his bed here. Apparently another bed is opening up some time next week and he would get it but this feels like a setback after he had been settling in here so well and progressing with the physio. Pray that he only has to stay at VGH a couple of days and that this bladder infection clears up once and for all. He no longer has a catheter, the big cause of bladder infections, so hopefully, this will be the last one. We are waiting for an ambulance (not one with red lights flashing) to take him over to VGH. Pray that this infection clears up quickly, and that we would not give in to discouragement over this turn of events.
I am thankful that Tom is here this week to help deal with this all of this.
Thanks for your prayers which are needed urgently.

Chris

Robert, we continue to pray in earnest for complete healing for you. Adam prayed tonight for a wall of God's fire around your body so that the enemy's firey darts can't get at you, and we believe it is true. You are the light in the Lord's eyes, and His eyes are on you. Praying for you, in love. Thinking of you often. Brock even put a picture of you as our computer background, so we see you all day and remember our responsibility and our desire to pray. Love Shelene

God does not give us more than we can handle...He must consider you as one of the strong ones. We pray for your physical health and also for your spiritual health. For you not to get discouraged as that is the enemy's way of breaking you down. We pray for your protection from such things.
Love in Christ
