Small Update

Since Randy's fever hasn't diminished with the antibiotics, the doctors turned to the infectious disease doctors. A doctor from that group came in and talked to me a bit about Randy's symptoms. Right now, he is thinking Randy has meningitis. He put in the request for a lumbar puncture to verify. Until that comes back, he is changing Randy's antibiotics a bit (he said it is just broader).

Good news, though, is that Randy responded to his name. The doctor came in and said his name a few times to him and Randy raised his eyebrows. The doctor said that when we get whatever is causing the fever taken care of, we should see an increase in Randy's mental capacity.

Thank you, Lord, for doctor's wisdom, for Randy's faithful and courageous wife, and the wonderful support network that surrounds Randy and lifts him to You. We praise You, Father, that You are the divine healer. We confess we stop to ask "why", and we struggle at times to accept Your perfect will, though we acknowledge You alone are in control.
Lord, we ask that Randy's body will respond readily to this change in antibiotics, and there will be no meningitis. And that You would heal his body and win the battle going on inside. I pray you will draw believers to support and lift this family in prayer. I thank You, precious Savior, for every person You touch with this incident.
