3:00am Update

My sister Loida called again @ that time, but I' barely blogging now; I am so tired. I just woke up.

Anyway, she called at 3 am for another update. X-ray was fine, no fluids in the lungs. They gave him more medication for him to start urinating again (this is to make sure that the kidney is working), it's looks like it's working from what my sister indicated.

I am so grateful to have a sister like Loida. She's an intelligent nurse, a go-getter, and has access to all the hospital floors. She has been a tremendous help and support to Bob and me in this time of desperation. She stayed in the with Bob all last night and kept me updated. But best of all, she trusts the Lord.

Sometimes we make choices. You are probably wondering "well, why did you not stay with your husband?"

My best answer... I know that my beloved has the best care possible at UCLA ICU; my children (although big) need me to be strong and healthy for when their dad comes home. Also, as a mom, I need to spend time with them, especially Bobby. Bobby's having a hard time coping; his way to deal is to just continue his normal routine & go work @ Knotts, despite me urging me to call in for sick time. It is hard to see his dad this way.

As I write this, I am still torn as to whether I go home and rest, or just stay with my beloved. Please pray for guidance on my behalf.

I am on my way to the hospital.

I love you all, and covet your prayers. --Mireya
