My parents came over to watch, One Night with A King, last evening. I don't think they were too impressed. The only comment following the movie was, "they sure took their liberties on that one". I had ordered it especially for my dad. He isn't feeling well and I think that took part of the enjoyment out of it for all of us. He is having trouble with fluid collecting around his heart. It has sapped his energy and taken his joy away. It breaks my heart. I have been there myself and know the symptoms like the back of my hand. It is anything but comfortable. I think I convinced him to make a plea with the cardiologist for more direutic to get rid of the stuff so that he can at least lie down. He hasn't slept well in weeks. That is an accident waiting to happen. I tossed and turned many times over his situation last night. Each time turning him and the situation over to the Lord and each time I'd awaken, I would grab it back again. Just knowing that I was sleeping and he isn't able to was more than I could bear.
He is going to call the cardiologist this morning. Please pray with me that whomever answers the phone will sense the urgency and get him in today so that he can find some relief. My dad has been a rock of strength for all his 88 years and now this. It is so hard for him....for Mary...and for me and my sibs. Watching him struggle is pure agony. Oh God, have mercy.
