BIG NEWS!! They are planning to release Tim tomorrow! His tiredness of yesterday equaled a HUGE jump in his blood numbers this morning. One of the numbers they watch jumped 7 times over yesterday’s number and another jumped 13 times the number from yesterday! It is very unusual for him to be released this early but he is doing so well and, because hospitals are full of sick people, they are ready to let him go. This is over a week earlier than they originally thought!
Our other big news for today is that he finished his 4th marathon. Everyone was really pleased to see that.
Now, while he will be coming home, he will be, as he puts it, “under house arrest” for a while. He can go for walks outside (with his mask) but, for the most part, he is not able to go anywhere, especially anywhere with a crowd!
We will also be coming back to Iowa City for testing on a regular basis (like every 5-7 days). Cassie will need to stay with him, basically, 24/7 for a while also.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
As good as this news is, it is also scary. We will not have nurses right outside the door that we can consult. This lays a bit of the burden on Cassie. Please pray that he continues to recover well and that we are able to fall into a good routine at home that works for both of us!
This also means that Cassie has a lot to do to be ready to go home tomorrow. Please pray that she is able to be as time efficient as possible over the next 24 hours to get everything ready for us to leave.
PRAISES:
Obviously, we are thrilled that God has allowed Tim’s body to heal as quickly as it has. We give him all the glory and honor!!
