Byron actually had a fairly peaceful and restful night. Not too many hiccups and no more shortness of breath episodes. I think I had a much worse night as I kept waking up, worried and checking to see if he was still breathing! He has oxygen to help with his breathing - at first he was pulling the oxygen lead out but now he is being good about leaving it in. I have to say, I have a whole new admiration for nurses! Today he has his first visit from his out-of-state family. His cousin Gina, who is a pastor, happens to be up in the Portland metro area and will be popping in for a visit. All three of Byron's brothers arrive on Tuesday! There will be a major sibling reunion in the Brown household! I know Byron is aware and looking forward to their visit. We also have a Zoom call scheduled for later today with his family. I am really hoping Byron is awake for the call! Last week, seeing their faces and hearing their voices put a huge smile on his face!
Finally, a huge shout out to Byron's former Multnomah County work group who put a video together of personal messages of hope, prayers and love. Byron saw and felt the love! Thank you to each and every one of you for your greetings!!
Prayer requests: That we would have no more shortness of breath episodes, that Byron is awake and aware for his family Zoom call and…continued success with the med regimen which is providing a balance of pain relief, reduction of the hiccups and an improved appetite!
