Yesterday and today Jay has been a real snooze machine. He has FINALLY turned the corner, and this intestinal scourge looks like it will soon be in the rear view mirror. He has been able to eat, do therapy, and sleep, and his spirits are improving again. I can't tell you how much relief I feel, both for Jay and I, because all this misery was killin' us!
What an arduous road this has been. Saturday is a lighter day for therapy and since Sunday is a day of rest in rehab, Jay gets a break before we start back to work on Monday. Not much to report but blessed relief.
Thanks for all the prayers and keep them coming. The next phase of recovery will focus on the whole person, not just Jay's physical reality. I cannot even imagine what's going on in his heart, mind, and soul. I have just let him be...........................

Hi daddy. DU lost in overtime last night... the streak continues gosh darnit. I hope you are feeling better today. It is sort of a hard day for me, I woke up sad. It is hard to understand why this happened to you, life really doesn't seem fair right now. Hopefully you get lots of rest and enjoy the superbowl and the great commercials today so you are ready for therapy tomorrow! I Just wanted to say hi. I'm thinking of you! Love you guys
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn and Jay,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear the miserable c-diff is going away, I can't imagine how draining, both mentally and physically, that was. I'm proud of you both and think of you often... keep up the good, hard work. Everyone on crew is stoked to hear of your progress and glad you're improving everyday, even if it's slight. Anything is better than nothing, as slow and painful as it is. I hope you are able to rest and recover, mentally, physically and emotionally today.

Hi Jay and Dawn -- Thinking about you a lot today; thank goodness the intestinal stuff is clearing up. What a drain that must have been(no pun intended when I wrote that). Probably not a surprise to you that no matter where we are in town, people are talking/asking about you both. You are beloved -- and loved by this community. Keep on keepin' on. Pam

Here's hoping Jay continued to improve from his intestinal bug. I'm so glad that Orma told me about the blog so I can follow Jay's progress. Your Dr. Yonnet's story touched me. I will google him.
