He fluctuated between a fever of 100 and 101. In the paperwork we received at the hospital they want you to call if you get a fever of 101.5 or higher because of the threat of Endocarditis, which is a life-threatening infection in the heart. Of course no one was there when I called so it was the choice of spending the night in the E.R. or at home.
I sent out a text message to some of our faithful prayer warriors and we stayed home and prayed. I continued to pray over him as he tried to rest and by 12:30 a.m. the fever was gone! His heart rate went down but not a whole lot, and of course I fought the thoughts of "What if this whole thing doesn't even take? What if it doesn't work and the valve breaks again?" But what can I do about it? I chose to fight the thoughts and hand it to God and trust Him with it regardless of outcome. And for the most part we both slept peacefully.
Jayme's still resting this morning but I will keep you posted as to how he is doing.
Glade to hear his fever broke and his heart rate went down some. My prayers are with each of you. Jayme stay strong and get well soon. Take care of yourself and don't over do it when your up and around. Love and Prayers!
