Day +54: Back at the Tiverton (by Natalie)
After spending a few days in the hospital, Aaron improved a good deal. However, last night (Sunday night), Aaron started getting nauseous, vomity, drowsy and weak again. We don’t know why this happened all of the sudden. His sodium levels are OK. He is so nauseous that the nausea medication doesn’t work. He can’t eat or drink. Despite the change overnight, the team of doctors at the hospital decided to discharge him today. It is a little frustrating leaving with Aaron in much the same condition as when he went in. I guess colitis is not a good enough reason to keep him in the hospital. Please, continue to pray for all of us. Aaron is so uncomfortable. Also, it is quite a consuming job trying to figure out how to take care of him, how to get the medicine down him and whether he is doing poorly enough to contact a doctor. We love and appreciate you!
What I have learned the most:
I need Jesus. My need I now confess. No Friend like Him, in times of deep distress. I need Jesus. This need I gladly own. Though some may bear their load alone, yet I need Jesus. Need Him in the sunshine hours. Need Him when the storm clouds low’r. Everyday, along life’s way, yes, I need Jesus. (George O. Webster)

We’ll be praying that the nausea stops completely, and that the colitis is healed soon.

I can’t even imagine what Aaron, Natalie, or the extended family are going through - and I hope I never can! But I can pray, and I do…
