Today was a really tough day. Grant was in a lot of pain for most of the day. The nurses were trying everything to get him some relief. This evening, they finally determined that he had a large blood clot in his bladder. They had to flush it out. They always ask him what his pain level is on a scale of 0-10. He usually stays around a 4 and creeps up to a 6 or 7 before getting some more pain meds. He has been at an 8 or 9 for most of the day and said he was at a 12 while they were doing this procedure. Thankfully, he got instant relief once they were able to flush it out.
He has eaten a little bit today but we still need that to increase. He also walked a lot today to try to alleviate the pain so that should help too. His blood counts had been dropping, but they checked them again and they have gone back up a little this evening.
The word God has been reminding me of today is Sovereign. When things have felt out of control or confusing or overwhelming, He just reminds me that He is Sovereign. He is always in control and never surprised. He keeps showing me ways that he knows right where we are and just what we need.
We are hoping for an uneventful night and significant improvement tomorrow. Thank you again for all the prayers. Keep them coming!
