Hello All!
I am hoping this BLOG will make it easier to communicate.
I know Adam would love to hear from you.
It's hard for me to remember who all has called and what they say.
What a gift that is!
The news today was what we had prayed for.
They are looking to put the surgery off until early next week.
We will know the exact day tomorrow.
It is dependant on the cardiac surgeon's schedule.
He is so good! Adam and I both have complete faith in his skills.
Our network (who knew we had a network in cardiology?!) gave him a huge thumbs up.
Our infectious disease specialist (again, who knew?!and super talented) has narrowed this bug down to a rare strain.
I always knew Adam was exceptional!!
He changed the antibiotic this morning and wants to get a 'good load' on board before they open him up.
Between the two of them, he is covered.
His cardiologist- not to be confused with his cardiac surgeon- came by today too.
She was the 'not favorite' today, in that she wouldn't allow him to go to a step- down room.
He asked "if I bat my eyes and flirt, would it help.'
Her answer was a firm no.
That means no bathroom or shower for a while.
At least he is able to get up and around a bit.
His dad arrived today.
I am sure it has been hard for him to be so far away.
Again, prayers are being felt.
We had visits from the hospital clergy today.
He was kind and graduated from Calvin College in Grand Rapids.
Of course that means he's great..right G-Jan?
Our youth pastor came by too.
He was so good with Adam and his prayers were so helpful.
We'd love continued prayers for strength and peace.
We are beginning to realize the severity of the situation.
It is more than we can take.
Day by day..right?!

ReplyDeleteAdam E and Valerie, love you so much and praying and thinking(you know that is the hard part for me) about you guys. Thank you for the effort to make the updates and no more flirting Adam (unless she is single - hmmm??)
ReplyDeletelove you Boo
We've been keeping all of you in our prayers... and have been getting the updates with the family texts/telephone conversations...
ReplyDeleteGet well soon-
We're thinking about you...
Love you -
Mindy and Bruce!
Adam, You and your Mom have had so much thrown at you over the last couple days! From what I can tell, there's no one that can power thru the things to come any better that you two! Not to mention with allot of help from so many friends and family.Be strong my friend and know that many prayers have your name on them.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Just imagine what your golf game will be when your feeling better! I will need some strokes.
I'm filled with an overwhleming sense that God is at work in your life right now. You truly are a miracle. He hung the stars in the sky and can stop the ocean at the shore, and yet YOU mean even more to him than those! He knows every vessel and hair. He made you for a purpose that only you can fulfill. When thoughts of doubt creep in, remember that you know the voice of truth.
ReplyDeleteAdam and Val-
ReplyDeleteIt's hard being here while you are are there. Although we are not physically with you-know that our thoughts and love and prayers are always there. Adams heart is so large and has impacted so many people and I know it is strong enough to come through this. May all three of you (yes jingleheimerschmidt-I include you) find strngth in the love and caring of your friends.
