I believe that we have weathered the storm! I feel like I have been stuck in a dark cave, and Im finally at the opening, peaking out with squinty eyes. I want to thank everyone for praying so fiercely for Bill. This was the most difficult episode weve had, and one where I chose not to take him to the hospital, which is what I normally do. I knew that home would be the best place for him, and he is so much safer in our house than the hospital. The day I asked for prayer, I started noticing small changes, and breaks in the madness. I also have to give a shout out to the most amazing doctor, Dr. Peter Bigler, (switch over to him right now {281.210.1200} because he is fabulous!) who took every call, and worked with me to find the right medicine to get Bill calm. (I think I went to the pharmacy one day 3 times, and probably 7 or 8 times in a 4 day period. Its so pitiful, I pull up to the window, they dont even buzz and ask me what I need, they just get my prescriptions, and say Be well Mrs. Dowling. ) Today, Bill has had zero episodes, and he slept all night like a sweet angel. I cant describe the relief that comes from seeing him at peace. 4 days and nights without sleep, and thrashing and screaming to top it off, ugh! I never, ever want this to happen again. There was something interesting about how this all worked out though. First, I got more prayers and suggestions than I have ever gotten, and Im so grateful for everyone of them. I know that through Bills suffering, many people are getting to see how God works miracles. As hard as it was, if one person came to know The Lord,or even if the seed has been planted, then it has been worth it. I have no doubt, that Bill would agree. Im not saying that it was easy to get through, and that I was like Yay, maybe someone will get to know how God works through our suffering. I cried 4 days and 4 nights, and pleaded with God to make it stop. I barely showered or brushed my teeth, and Im pretty sure I wore the same clothes for 3 days! Im just saying that now, I can see that once again, many lives have been touched. The really interesting part was that both of our kids were gone for the entire 4 days. Foster was invited to go hunting, (this was not planned), and Faith went on a mission trip. God spared them this nightmare, and I thought that was super cool. The day Foster came home, Bill was chilled, and Faith is coming home today. They didnt have to endure one single bit of this. Well, now we are back on track, and I really am ready to move forward, get Bill healthy, start home therapy, go back to rehab, move on with our lives, plan something!! Faith is about to go full swing with volleyball, so Bill needs to be super better to get the ok to travel to her games, which is his favorite thing to do. Thank you all for praying. Weve got the best prayer warriors ever!!!
