Things seem to be getting "lighter" around here. In all seriousness, it felt like a heavy dark cloak had been thrown over this room, and Seth and myself today. The morning, mid-day and evening were REALLY bad. Seth had been VERY sick. He was vomiting (violently) and has the NG tube in. For those who may not know what and NG tube is..it is a tube that is in his stomach and comes up through his throat and out through his nose and pumps stomach fluids from his stomach. Even with the suction running he was vomiting (and stuff was coming out). How can that be? The pain was intense from the pressure and then his lower (new surgery) stomach kicked in. It was really a bad situation. The doctors were called in several times and they don't understand what is going on. Pain management doctors have been in also and are coming back in soon.
The med's have been changed around and steroid taper slowed.
The night nurse came on and said he was running a fever of about 101+
I just asked her to take it again and she said it went down on its own. Now it is 99+
Seth's normal temp is around 97. We run low in this family.
Anyway. I believe the atmosphere changed due to the prayers that went up.
Seth is asking for specific prayer from everyone who logs on. His throat is REALLY REALLY hurting him from the breathing tube (in surgery) and the NG tube. The vomiting has added to the pain in there too. Please pray right now that his throat STOPS hurting. He has complained since he came out of surgery and he says it is getting worse. HE CAN'T SWALLOW with out it hurting. We have asked several times for help and all they give us are lozenges that make him swallow and that makes it HURT worse. Thanks I know that between me, you and Jesus we can get this thing under control. So thanks in advance. We'll keep you posted. Love Vic & Seth

Vicki,
Just keep reminding yourself that God is bigger than what is going on with Seth. Also God has gone before you and paved the way for Seth.
Cling to God's promises today and know that he goes before you, behind you and beside you. His word tells us that He will never leave us or forsake us. He will also NEVER give us more than we can handle.
God is in control. I will keep praying for Seth and of course you :) . I am looking forward to hearing about how God blessed the two of you today.

so today was a really bad day. that's ok, because really it's all Satan's fault, and Christ has already taken care of him, with the whole crushing the head thing. anyways, i'll be praying for you as i always do. except for more and harder. hey just a tip, today's nat'l day of prayer.
so that last post wasn't really me, but my mom had issues with the whole technology and blogging thing. love you and miss you *hugs* ~lid
hey i was thinking...so like Mrs.Bosma said, God is bigger than what seth is going through and he is going to protect you and never leave you. just like how he protected me when i was 1 lb. and 14oz. when i was born plus the doc. said I could of died or I would have one eye in the middle of my head. (like seth says i could of been a cyclops). but i'm here and i have two eyes! so if God can do that he can do anything!! and we all know what the power of prayer can do. So what im saying is if you're feeling down just remember that God is right there next to you and we all love you and praying for you constantly. so i hope you have a better day! ;) I'm constantly thinking of you and praying for you guys.
love & miss u!

Hey Seth! Sounds like things aren't going very well. Just remember to keep your head up and your body fighting. Keep that spirit up. Think of all the things that you will be doing soon. (Like taking me to meet your gpa!) I know this is a rough patch now, but it will be over soon. Just keep fighting! Thinking of you, Kristy and Ben
Praise you Lord, you are incredible, Lord, right now I pray directly about Seth's throat. I ask that the enemy remove his grip on his throat in the name of JESUS. We will NOT TOLERATE these symptoms, we refuse these symptoms in the name of JESUS. We thank you and praise you Lord for Seth's healing as written in Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24, and Matthew 8:17. You are awesome Lord, thank you for taking care of Seth's comfort. Thank you for blanketing Seth and Vickie with your love and peace. Love you guys, Marilyn and Brian
