A set back to move forward!

I wanted to let everyone know that Dustin had another seizure on Friday morning at 6am during his respiratory treatment. It has left him with a flat affect which I am believing is temporary. The poor kid has been through so much and I am thinking that brain surgery and seizures and too much meds would leave me a bit flat as well. Rick and I left on Sat after some time outside. He is very quiet but able to talk and answer questions if asked. He will have a brain scan on Tues. We believe that God continues to have His hand on him and all will be normal.

Nerina is to visit tomorrow and that will make him very happy. The other night (Sat) his heart rate was very high, his blood pressure too low and he had a fever. It was a difficult time for me and I needed to take a break. Rick h ad come and brought mussels and bread an olive oil from
Carrabba's from a special request from Dustin. Well when Rick got there he was not feeling too well. We went to our motel room and took a break and I really wanted to see him again before the night was over. We went back and he was on the phone with Nerina. I peaked in and his heart rate had come dow a bit and he was talking away. By faith, we had brought the mussels back and low and behold he ate everyone of them along with the bread and oil. I reminded him of the Psalms which says, " wine to make the heart glad, bread for strength and oil to make the face shine. The next morning his fever as gone and although quiet was doing better. Please continue to know that although the devil wants him, God gets him for life.

love to all
