Dear Friends and Family,
We are establishing this blog today as an efficient way of keeping everyone updated on Bill's progress and ways to help the family. Please feel free to post comments for Bill and his family.
Today for Bill
Bill continues to make progress on his long journey of healing his body from this serious infection. He has regained some degree of consiousness and recognized a number of family and friends who visited him today. His doctors decided this morning to reinsert the breathing tube and initiate the ventilator to assist him with his breathing. While he was breathing on his own yesterday, it was with great effort and they felt that this step would allow him to rest and reserve his energy for healing. This was a good step for him, but a difficult step for us. This is an example of how this journey will unfold, three steps forward and one step back.
Tomorrow, he will return to the OR as planned to check the status of his thigh and foot wound. Depending on the doctors' observations, they will determine what the next course of action is for these areas. They are confident that the bacteria is no longer present in his blood or his tissues.
For those of you in Nashville who have offered to help, please contact Lacey Bulow by email at: bulowbunch@comcast.net. We would appreciate if you would direct your inquiries to her rather than to his medical team who is working overtime to get Bill healthy again.
We are grateful for your prayers, thoughts and offers of assistance. As the doctor's have told us, this will be a marathon not a sprint and we're just off the starting line. There will be many opportunities to support us along the way.
Much Love,
The Obremskey Family

"O" Poem of Faith
ReplyDeleteOur hearts were heavy our heads held down, but we stood firm on our faith and knew you needed time.
We made our way to your bedside shaking with hands held tight, we were calling on Our Lord to bring on the light.
As Dora, Cindy and myself held your hands, we did not ask why for fear we would cry.
Lord you heard our prayers and felt our love, because you showed from above.
Love
Pat Griffiths
