Update April 18th 8:17 pm

Acey is out of ICU and back on the floor. The game plan now is to wait a few days to see how his body will react to the plasma phoreisis, then they will access him again to see which way to go with his treatments. The pneumonia is better, the MRI and the spinal tap is the same as before. Now it's just a waiting game.

  1. Last weekend when I was at my grandma's who is close to joining her husband on the other side, had this poem sitting on a desk in her room and it touched my heart and I wanted to share. I not only thought of my own problems and trials, but as I read it I thought of Acey and what you are facing and it brought tears to my eyes and I know our Father in Heaven loves you beyond measure. It brought comfort as I read this, I hope it does the same for you. Love you guys very much!

    THE MONUMENT
    by Blaine M. Yorgason

    God,
    Before He sent His children to earth
    Gave each of them
    A very carefully selected package
    of problems.

    These,
    He promised, smiling,
    Are yours alone. No one
    Else may have the blessings
    These problems will bring you.

    And only you
    Have the special talents and abilities
    That will be needed
    To make these problems
    Your servants.

    Now go down to your birth
    And to your forgetfulness. Know that
    I love you beyond measure.
    These problems that I give you
    Are a symbol of that love.

    The monument you make of your life
    With the help of your problems
    Will be a symbol of your
    Love for me,

    Your Father

  4. So pleased to hear he is out of ICU and the pneumonia has improved. :) Hoping the plasma treatment was successful and continued prayers for his healing and the guidance for the doctors. Stay strong, Acey. Up that mountain you go! :) May God continue to bless you, your family and the team of doctors and attending staff. Also, hoping you don't have any nurses that are ornery. LOL. If so, work on making them smile. ;) Love, Dona & Family

    Teresa, I enjoyed the poem. Quite profound. :)
