Well the blog is about to make a big change. Jean has gone home to Denver, Jacque Jr. has gone back home to Olla ,and Jamie is at home taking care of baby Mia--so yes, it is me--trying to do something that I know absolutely nothing about--blogging!!! The time is 11:25 p.m. and I am really tired, so I hope everyone will understand if my blog is short and sweet!!
Jacque had a really good day today. His blood work was good and all the numbers that need to go up are going up and the numbers that need to go down are going down. He is moving his legs some and his hands some. He is still on oxygen but NOT ON A VENT. Praise God. The nurses have been great and have allowed me to spend a lot of time in icu with Jacque. He is already giving me orders about what to do--Can you believe that????
He got his first get well card today from Don Kelley's office. He really seemed to enjoy getting the card, so I thought I would let everyone know his address. Jacque Derr, Lafayette General Hospital, ICU 7th Floor, 1214 Coolidge Street, Lafayette, LA 70503.
The doctors say we will be icu for 5 to 7 more days. He will have the blood cleaning every day. It takes about 2 1/2 hours and he has to be in icu for this treatment. He still can have no visitors but immediate family.
I hope everyone will understand if I sign off . I am going to bed. BUT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP, I HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE --THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND CONCERN.
JACQUE AND I ARE SO BLESSED. We sat and talked tonight and both agreed that this was going to work out and one day we would look back on all this and realize how blessed we were to go through something like this with the support we had. Our God is so good. We have been given the greatest children, family, friends, doctors and nurses.
Love,
Laure :)
Jacque, Laure and family,
ReplyDeleteFaith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that God will.Your days are difficult, but your faith, and God's love will help you through them. Thankful that he had a good day yesterday. We pray that each day he will continue to improve as God shows you His Love by giving you the strength and support needed at this time. God said in His Word that He would never leave us alone. Praying daily, Ed and Ann
Love you, Mrs. Laure! You all are in our constant thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteLaure and Jacque,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad and grateful to God that Jacque is showing improvement. I have been and will continue to keep up with Jacque’s progress through the blog. And Laure, you seem to have caught on to it quickly. You are in my prayers and the prayers of so many. Love you all, Jennifer Futch
Mrs Laure, this is Jenny from the radio station. Wanted to let you know we are praying for Jacque, you and your family. I am mailing a prayer cloth The Family Church anointed and prayed over last night. In the New Testament, the apostles anointed handkerchiefs and sent them to the sick. Through this practice of faith, they saw many miracles take place. The Family Church still believes in this. When someone needs prayer and is unable to be in service, the ministry of The Family Church anoints a prayer cloth in their stead and prays for that person using the prayer cloth. We believe God CAN and Will give Jacque a complete, speedy recovery. And please tell him we miss his bad jokes at Kiwanis. With our prayers, Jenny Hodge
ReplyDeleteGood morning sweet Angel. You and Jacque
ReplyDeletecontinue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Life is a gift and no matter how deep the pit
our God is deeper still. Jacque stay positive
and let the gift of life bring healing and
peace for you, Laure, and family. Love you
bunches, Jim & Annette
