0:41. After reporting to the ER, I decided to call the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (BMTU) because they are more familiar with my situation. The BMTU is aware of the "possible infection" but they believe the ER either called the wrong patient or they are reacting to a false reading of my blood. Of course the BMTU could be wrong and the ER could be correct. However, it's frustrating that one party practically declared my imminent death such that Yeonsil was in tears thinking she had already lost her husband while the other party is in the extreme opposite corner saying that they have the wrong patient.
Meanwhile it is now approaching 1 am and it doesn't look like I'll be getting much rest. Moreover, even if I was admitted by accident, I am stuck here for 72 hours as a matter of policy. I don't know whether to be preparing for my end or whether I should be upset with the lack competence. Regardless, I'm just going to refrain from anxiety, trust in the Lord, and try to close my eyes and rest whenever possible.
Nathan & Yeonsil,
ReplyDeleteGrace ran across this yesterday in her reading:
“Tis He sustains my feeble powers
With His almighty arms:
He watches my unguarded hours,
Against invading harms.
No scorching sun, no sickly moon,
Have leave from Him to smite:
He shields my head from burning noon,
From blasting damps at night.
He guards my soul, He keeps my breath,
When thickest dangers come:
Still I’ll go on, secure from death,
Til He commands me home.

We are praying for you both.
