A Turn for the Worse

Today I found out that my FIL's condition went worse than yesterday. He started having fever again and his mind wasn't clear at all. There's no clear sign of when he can go back home again. MIL starts to wonder if she can ever take care of him at home again. I can't imagine how devastated MIL must be, so for all of you the praying type, please pray for MIL so that she's given comfort and strength and peace of mind.





She's been so worried about FIL that she has had trouble sleeping at nights. One reason is that she feels that he's not being taken care of as best as he should be, but then there's no way she can stand by at his side day in and day out. She can only come by daily and try to feed him. Yesterday she helped him finish dinner, but today he couldn't finish it all. Probably 'coz he's got fever again.

Not sure what's going on with his body. The first thing that happened was that he had fever and they claimed it was some sort of inflammation, but after some tests they still don't know what's causing it. We all know that his condition is going to get worse (mentally as well as physically), but it's just surprising to see that lately it's been deteriorating this fast. Oh well...just wanna let you know.

Wishing for peace of mind, wishing for the best kind of health care providers possible for FIL so that MIL can feel somewhat comforted...may God help them!!!
