Today was kinda full of mixed feelings. In a way it was difficult seeing lee on the resperator again, but I also felt myself feeling more at ease knowing that he was comfortable and resting. All his "#'s" are continuing to improve. Tonight they did an MRI, and when I left the hosp. about 9, they were getting ready to take him down for a catscan. They also plan on doing a lumbar puncture, but I'm not sure if that is planned for tonight or tomorrow. They said by tomorrow morning, they should have the results from both of those test. I just pray that they all come back good. "WHEN" they come back good... I just know that things will be on the up and up and it will be a matter of just a few days. Everything is improving nicely and I'm confident that as his filtering organs continue to work better, that soon this sedative will be cleaned from his body. Please continue praying.... we've/he's come soooooo far. God has been good!!!!!

Everyone's wanting to know about me. Am I ok? Am I taking care of myself? Am I sleeping and eating? I suppose I'm doing as good as I can under the circumstances. I've had people tell me that I'm handling this great. Sometimes I wonder... lol. I have been sleeping pretty good. I'm getting at least 7-8 hrs. It has bugged me a little that I've slept this well without Lee next to me. I usually don't sleep well when he's gone. Which hasn't been in sometime. Maybe that's just a sign that I know he will be back beside me soon.
I'm eating at least 2 meals a day. I know, I don't always get that "most important" breakfast. I'm a Micky D's breakfast burritto fanatic! There's one on the way to the hosp., so I try to stop there when I can. It's just that the past couple of mornings, I haven't been able to get there before 10:30 when they stop serving breakfast. I may have to try and make that tomorrow morning. Despite the fact that I am eating... and ate like a pig I might add, while Lee's mom and brother were here, I have still lost about 7 lbs., and I sure didn't need to lose any. I've been trying to put weight on, I lost so much when I was sick a couple of months ago. I had finally got up to 105 again, now, I'm back down to 98. I don't know what to do but eat, and I'm definately doing that... not to mention the calories that I'm drinking in sodas each day... I am a pepsi nut.... lol. I'm still quite worried about Lee, with a few things still uncertain, but I know that when I'm sure everythings alright, I will feel much better. I'm sure it's all this worring that caused the weight to come off, despite the fact that I'm eating ok. I just remain steadfast in my faith, that soon this will all be over and lee will be home with me, completely well. It gets me from day to day. I pray each night... God, you got us(me and lee) through today, now get us through tomorrow. We can only go one day at a time. I've had alot of support from friends, like you, and family. That has helped so much. I thank all of you again.

Tomorrow is gonna be a "good" day...in Jesus name! I look forward to coming home to tomorrow and telling you what a great day Lee had. Talk to you all soon. Keep praying!

Love,
Lev
