Today has been a full, but good day. S didn't sleep too great last night, and was a bit nauseated this morning (we think because of the sleeping pill). She got up, took a shower, ate, and by that time I was there (10:30). Almost immediately, Dr. Adrian came in and said that he was going to have her see the ENT doc (due to the continued tingling/numbness sensations in her face/head/neck). While we waited, we took a quick walk to the hospital garden. When we came back, we went straight the ENT. He did a scope of her nose and a scan of her sinuses/head. Everything came back fine. The two docs met and agreed that there is nothing serious at all and that the numbness is likely just a severe sinus infection and/or part of the post viral syndrome.
About half-way through with the ENT, I ran home to get the kids to bed. After I got them down, I was eating a PB&J sandwich and got a message from S: "They're discharging me in an hour!"
I ran back to the hospital. The docs said that while their goal is to find out what's wrong, at this point they've ruled out anything serious. PRAISE THE LORD! Right now, S's key need is rest. And, unfortunately, there is construction going on _literally_ right under S's bed at the hospital, so rest was quite difficult. They advised her to go to the mission house, rest, see the kids, rest, eat, rest...you get the picture. She has a blood test and follow-up appointments early next week.
We praise God for this! We both feel that this is exactly the right timing. S is extremely tired, but thankfully she is not in pain or hurting (other than the sinus-type sensations). Our KEY REQUEST now is that she could sleep. She has a hard time getting to sleep right now. She's not worried; she's not anxious. Pray that God will help her body to just sleep.
Thanks so much for your continued prayers. The docs said that although she is ready to leave the hospital, it's going to take her body a while to get back to normal strength. We will stay in Singapore until they give us the green light to head back home to Indonesia. Again, pray for God's gracious healing on her body.
His goodness is overwhelming. Thank you, God.
Grateful. Tired. Joyful. Blessed.
