I went to the hospital this morning and spent some time bedside.
Allan is still running a fever between 101.5 and 102. Pressures around 15-17.
The Doctor gave me a rundown of other things his body is doing that indicate he is not able to maintain basic bodily functioning at this point. They had done yet another CT scan and had done a neuro assessment this morning that "didn't look very good at all." I'm not sure entirely what that meant other than just that.
The usual staff is back tomorrow and I am looking forward to another sit down with such.
This weekend has been eerie.
I'm hugging and loving my kiddos while it's the weekend, trying to keep my thoughts and heart reigned in.
I will update again tomorrow, or as soon as I have word of anything different.

A picture's worth a thousand words! Allan demonistrated unconditional love with Corky as dogs so often do with us humans. What a beautiful picture. Thank you Randi for sharing it. It somehow brings light where into a dark situation. Nonnie

This picture is priceless. Denial has kept me from crying - I am afraid to allow reality into my heart. This picture just caught me off guard and I am not sure if these tears will stop. I am so angry this has happened to my friend. It is easy to say you believe in God when things are going good.The best I can say right now is I hope there really is some loving God.
ReplyDeleteThe song "Here Comes The Rain" is playing in my head and apparantly leaking out of my eyes. Love to all Allans friends and family. Cheryl and Timmy
I want to Thank Randi Faye for the so eloquent words she writes at a time that is so heavy for her. I know the saying that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. You Randi Faye are a teacher. oboviously one of Gods teachers that help us to see how trust and strength go hand in hand. I am humbled by your lesson. Your father was a good, kind, compassionate man who passed that love onto you! All of us here today who read your story, your life and its painful reality now take time to reflect what courage looks like! I will not complain about how heavy the things on my plate are. I see GODs hand in picking you as our teacher. You are doing a great job! Your courage in letting him fight this battle and your courage in facing what that looks like when you open you eyes in the morning has GOD written all over it! Let his arms embrace you. Beleive that this was for a greater good and the time we have had has been the gift! I was lucky to know Big AL and see corkie and if there was ever a pair to embrace loves power it was the two of them! They loved each other! It almost seems fitting it ended this way for corkie! You are a tough women and I am praying daily for you to let God hold your hand! Remember it is his plan. You have made the right decisions. Big Hugs and prayers!

ReplyDelete"God always does what he says,and is gracious in everything he does. God gives a hand to those down on their luck, gives a fresh start to those ready to quit." I have stood in the same place as you and have no strength to say more. Just know you are in our prayers and we know what you are going through. God be with all of you!
