A Ray of Hope

Marilyn just called again sounding even more chipper so I am on my way up.
Update to this.
I went up to the hospital at 6:30 this evening and when I arrived Stephen and Erin were already there. In the parking lot I met Ardith and Tracy and went up to the room with Tracy and Stephen. I needed them for moral support and it was so good to have them there. Marilyn was co-herant and much more lucid this evening. She still is very frightened and confused often saying things like "something is wrong with me" and "what are they doing to me". I only saw Marilyn a few short times as nurses kept coming and going, giving tests et. These nurses were so gentile and compassionate it made me feel much better for Marilyn. They once again tried the cathetor this time with full cooperation from Marilyn. Although unsuccessful their were no screams of agony and pain. This time the nurses had only to listen to Marilyn softly praying to Jesus for help through the ordeal. I was able to speak of our faith to one of the nurses later in the evening. Your prayers are making a difference. We don't know when the MRI test will be done now but the doctors have ordered her to be put under for this. The cathetor will be inserted at the same time. Even though it was hard to see me leave Marilyn let go and said for me to check with the nurses to see if it was safe for me to leave. That was my cue and Tracy an I left after a short prayer with Marilyn. There are still vital signs that need to improve like Marilyns kidneys not functioning properly but overall I felt things were progressing today instead of digressing It is now 10:30 and I am going to try to get a good rest so I can stay up at the hospital for most of the day tomorrow
