Short & Sweet

We had someone from Church come over today to watch the kids so I could go visit Casey for a bit. It was nice to be there for a couple of hours. Pastor Lightcap came to pray with us and get up to date on the whole story. Both kids did amazing with the sitter who they haven't really met other then in passing at church a few times. I'm so proud of my amazing kids. Really I have been so blessed.

Today Casey said he was feeling better, hasn't had any morphine for the pain which is great news. He has still been running a bit of a fever off and on. He looked a little pale today and said he thought he was running a slight fever. He was, it was 99.6. We chatted for a bit, he said he's been coughing more and coughing up some mucus. Pastor came in and talked to us and prayed over Casey and rebuked the illness and told it to leave his body. We have faith that God is in control and if its his will the illness will depart as instructed.

After Pastor left I told Casey I missed snuggling and told him to scoot over as I crawled into bed with him for a few minutes of snuggle time. The nurse came in and disconnected his IV fluids, said the Dr said he could be off it as long as he would drink enough to stay hydrated. I asked her about the results of his urine test as well as the test they were running off the mucus he coughed up. She said she would need to refresh her memory but nothing stood out at her that would make her call the Dr. She said she didn't think the mucus culture had grown anything. She mentioned his Pneumonia and I asked if that was the official diagnoses and she said she wasn't 100% sure but thought they were leaning towards that. She said that if he can stay hydrated on his own and keep the fevers down and pain under control he'll be able to come home tomorrow. Then Mon he'll have another CT scan and if the mass is gone or significantly smaller then we will continue treatment, if not then he'll have a procedure on Weds where they go in with a camera through his mouth to get a biopsy of the mass. Hoping the CT scan shows the mas is gone or smaller.

As I was laying there snuggling with Casey watching a movie on TV the MA came in to take his vitals and said she was sorry for interrupting snuggle time and how cute we were together. Haha Yeah we get that a lot.

Anyway, so that's today's update. Tonight I hope to take the kids to see him again and then hopefully tomorrow he will come home!
