Day 14- Tempus fugit....

"Tempus fugit" is Latin for the expression "time flies". Not too sure how tempus fugit applies to hospital time however. It's more like "tempus crawlus". Time and schedules have a whole other meaning in hospitals. In a few minutes can mean in about three hours, or right now, or sometime this afternoon. Tomorrow could mean in two days, or it might mean in ten minutes. Ya never know. It's pretty frustrating after you've been there 14 days. And when your Makenzie and you've laid in one position unable to move for 2 weeks, it's like watching the paint dry.
So, not too much happened today. Maybe that's a good thing. Some decisions are being made as to when the next surgery on what is. Hopefully this will be clearer tomorrow. Even in the best hospitals there are times when things lag, especially the longer you're in one. The blood clot situation is getting better.
Keep praying for clarity, for dissolving of blood clots, for healing of left foot as they prepare to work on it, and other stuff as it comes up. Everyday is a new one for something...
Peace my friends.....

  1. Hey McLaurin's, We are all continuing to pray for Kenzie and the rest of you. My Sunday school class is doing a study of Esther. I was thinking today that God might be preparing Makenzie "for a time such as this". Isn't it amazing what God can do? There is no telling what God will use Makenzie for in the future. Love to you all. Len said to give Makenzie a kiss on the forehead from him (his trademark greeting!). We are here for you. The Fairbanks Family.

  2. I know it has to be very difficult to keep being put on hold but God is working on it. I know he is because the blood clot happened at the best possible time it could have. Thanks be to God that Makenzie was in a place where they know what types of medicine it takes to dissolve it. I can truly say that a blood clot may be deadly, but I can also attest that people do survive them. We will continue to pray for Makenzie and all of you that are hurting along with her. Keep up the Hope and Faith. Butch & Cindy
