40 Silent Sermons: GirlMic/Leslie’s Last Days (23)
The GI test is completed. The doctor said “A small tear aggravated by colon tube.” Skip ans Silas are here. Leslie has more eye opening but she is unable to tolerate the pressure support and weaning exercise. Doctor visits and he says, “we are waiting on lab levels to get better.” Her platelets are 11 and she is requiring more buttons of Platelets. Her Platelets did rise to 135. She is requiring constant care so I am glad that she has Nurses Nancy and Ashley caring for her. I am praying that she is not in pain.
40 Silent Sermons: GirlMic/Leslie’s Last Days (16)
This day is a review of some previous events that were a part of days where visitors Lisa, Diane and Wes made our day . There is a sweet entry in her journal where they write “we love you Leslie and hope you are moving about very soon.” Her nurses Sarah and Nicole met each other during these days and they were so kind and gentle while doing everything possible for her comfort. Deacon Todd called and we had prayer. When I arrived on Day 15 Leslie was off the ventilator and we turn the page. Ann and Jerome visited us today.

I started my Day at 05:17 with a kiss to Leslie’s forehead and a check of the monitor readings. I was glad to see a nurse who had worked with her before and was kind in her care. She had some eye and forehead movement and a cough so I asked about something to make her more comfortable. I noted in my journal some songs I heard such as “My Soul has been anchored in the LORD.” The Doctors reported low labs and needing more blood. Her sister GalVal and Friends /Family Brenda and Georgia visited and we talked and listened.

The Day started with a nurse who seemed to be nervous about having to care for Leslie. I am sure that in her briefing she had heard that I wrote down many of the things that happened related to my GirlMic’s care. As she did everything in a hurried manner and seemed to be scattered, I stopped and prayed that she would be calm, smile and slow down. By the end of the shift, we both realized that we wanted the best care possible. The weaning trials were not successful. We were glad to get a call from cousin Brenda.

It is 05:33 and I see that GirlMic’s signs and symptoms are stable and I pray that maybe today will be a good “Respiratory day” and that the Lab values will be better. I wrote the monitor readings in red as I recorded in Leslie’s journal that her HR was 87 and RR was 21, Platelets 95 and she seemed more awake. Her brother Doug visited and we prayed.Today I met her nurse Sarah and I quickly named her “Sarah with a Smile” She made me comfortable as she said what I heard many days and nights, “I will be your nurse this shift.” 
WWOW: Well, Well, Well

It is 3pm and Leslie opened her eyes. Her HR is 115 and her Sp02 is 98. I am monitor watching when her friend from high School, Lisa walked in with this beautiful smile. She explained that she and Leslie were majorettes together and Leslie was like her big sister who picked her up to go to practice. I enjoyed hearing about Leslie’s gift of giving and always helping others. I met one of Leslie’s sweetest and caring nurses, Nicole today. She explained what the doctors were planning and this is the first time a doctor mentioned the possibility of tracheostomy placement .
Day 4 of #15DaysOfPrayer—Give me Life!!

Day 4
It’s something about prayer that when you’re finish everything seems right in the world! Even if the issue isn’t immediately resolved; you still feel better.
For me it is literally like breathing in crisp air! Prayer invites God into my world; God has brought a host of gifts————->Joy, patience, resilience! Just to name a few😃
Anxieties come———–>but don’t stick!
Fears surface————->then depart!
Enemies hand me stones of guilt——–>I give them to the Lord!
The weapons continue to form——> never prosper!
G’Night
Love & Light
Vita
Don’t for get your prayers!😘
