Wednesday June 20 , 2007

It kind of struck me as I started to type in the title above. It keeps track of previous entries and Wednesday June 6, 2007 popped up. In some cases it seems so long ago that this blog was setup, and even longer since all of this started (May 28), but on the other hand, it still seems like only yesterday. It's all starting to blur together. Marika turned 4 weeks old today. 4 weeks!

Well today Julia had her CT scan and she was injected with the stuff to help them see things better. One of the side effects is a bit of nausea and she felt that a little. She still continues to fight the fever but overall she is doing okay. She is going for walks and forcing herself to at least eat something.

In comparison to the quick analysis and action of the ICU, things feel like they have ground to a halt. We feel like we can only ever get one thing done in a day and that's including hearing about the results from the test the previous day! It would be easier if we had a target to focus on. Hopefully tomorrow we will know the results of the CT and it will result in an answer and not more tests.

Julia talked to the doctor again this morning and if there is an infection in that fluid they might have to do a surgery to try and drain it. Also, her new IV line is starting to fail again so they might have to try something different with that and go with a central intravenous line.

Between appointments, medication, naps, and visits, Julia had a pretty full day today which is good since it helps to pass the time. Tonight we read together parts of Roman 8 and it ends with these wonderful verses:

38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
