Tuesday Night Update/Kirby

 The above is Kirby and his girlfriend, Jennifer.  The below is me, Kirb, and Amelia.
Thank you for your prayers...I am clinging to James 5:15 "And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up." 

Here is an update:
1.  Kirby's pain is at a 7-8 out of 10.  He is scared to death to get too much morphine again but I can't stand for him to be in pain!  So continued prayer on the right levels of medicine.

2.  His color was better today.  He has been able to eat and hold his food.

3.  He has been vacillating between hot and cold flashes with headaches.  They discovered he is anemic and he will receive some blood at some point.

4.  He is very alert and knows what day it is...even when the nurses are wrong!

5.  He was able to get up in a chair today for about an hour and a half.

6.  The doctor who repaired his wrist looked at the wrist xrays today and decided that another surgery will be in order...either for Wed. afternoon or Thursday.  He will need to do some ligament repair.  Pray for this surgery and that Kirby will have complete restoration and use of his wrist again.

7.  He will go directly to Healthsouth rehab when he is released from the hospital (not sure when this will be...)

8.  Pray for Kirby's mental state...that he wouldn't get depressed or discouraged about what all lies ahead.

9.  Pray against pneumonia or blood clots.

10.  Pray God would replenish our languishing souls and would continue to bring good news.

becke thank you for the specific update. and you have strict instructions from the doctor to have a cup of coconut coffee and enjoy some time in the word while your boys play wee wee, i mean wii.

this is good news that kirby will be able to to straight to rehab.

were you there on the sunday marvin led worship (2 weeks ago, maybe? the potluck week). he sang about his grandmama telling him God as a docta! a lawyer in the courtroom and lots of other things.

it pretty much rocked.

please keep the updates coming because we will stand in the gap of prayer for kirby and your family. there is power in prayer and we're going to tackle it and use it.

hang in their toots.
