Inside of Lewis' left lungs is a spider web, mesh like infection called "loculated capsules". The strong antibiotics they have him on is no match for this infection. So, in the morning (time unknown), he will be going into surgery to have these things removed from his left lung.
Last night, in hopes of seeing himself coming home the week before Christmas, he wanted to be cleaned up; so, I gave him a shave. He also wanted to walk down the hall, so they hooked up the suction devices to a battery and the mobility nurse Kim (who was so helpful) walked him down the hall. She asked, "how far do you walk to go", and like Lewis, he said "my goal is to the outside window and back". He made it and was so happy to get out of the bed.
This past summer, the two of us were on the Missouri River in Montana. Suddenly, an electrical storm came on top of us. Lightening was every where. We were soaked. Our boat rowed hurriedly to a bridge to seek shelter. While I was unnerved, the sight of that bridge overhang gave me confidence. We are now looking at another bridge overhang and its coming tomorrow. I can't wait to be back on that river with Lewis this summer and praise God together about that storm and this one.
Thank you for your prayers
