I thank God for the good friends and support from Loli, my mom, and Mark who were all there when we decided to make the call. I could not have done that without you guys! God is good.
Donna has sepsis again. Not sure where or how it started again, but that is the diagnosis from the ICU doctors (why does this always happen on the weekends!) It is in her blood. Hopefully this time they will be able to find the source of the infection.
Her kidneys were starting to fail, but it now looks like we may be able to work out of this. That is good news. She is complaining of a feeling of indigestion, but it is hard for her to describe the feeling or the sensation exactly. Her heart rate, blood pressure, and other vitals are all fairly normal, but may fluctuate just outside of normal for short periods of time.
She is only whispering now, even though she does not have any mouth sores or issues with her lips. Her mouth always seems to be dry. Even when she drinks, it does not seem to be enough to take care of the problem. She can't seem to get warm either. That is probably because they are filling her with fluids to get her blood pressure to rise.
On my computer wallpaper are the following sayings...
We are trying to rest on these promises as we go through these trials.
Please continue to pray for us.
If you have any specific questions, please leave a comment, and I'll try my best to answer them.
Thanks.

Scott, many prayers were said today for you and Donna, Emily and Rachel and the family. God says we are to Ask, Seek and Knock and to keep on asking, seeking and knocking. We continue to persevere on your behalf in prayer.
Scottay,
Please tell Donna that I love her!

Hi Scott, Donna, Rachel and Emily...please know that we are praying 16 hours ahead of you:-)...for the God who comforts us in our deepest need. We have told so many people here down under how you are resting in His promises alone and are so resting in the peace that only He can give. Our love to you, friends. Sonia, Ken, Monica and kiddos
Scott & Donna, You have been in our prayers daily. As I sit here typing, the sun is streaming through the window, bringing with it the hope of spring! May the love of God, poured forth through your family and friends, warm your hearts as you face this battle together. I pray that you feel Jesus' gentle hand on your shoulder today. He understands better than anyone. You have faced the struggles and pain with bravery and great faith. I pray that you will sense Jesus' presence; I trust that He is shouldering this cross with you. Our thought and prayers are with you always.
Love, Ann and the whole M-V family
Scott and Donna, our prayers are with you. Please know that we are thinking about you and your constant battles. May God grant you the grace to get through this. Keep hope in your heart.
