No Improvement--And Now, a Fever

It's nearing 3 weeks, now, since my RUF minister, Dustin Salter, had his accident, suffering "as severe a head trauma anyone can and live" (said a neurologist). Initial signs were good, but he's lingered in the "no improvement" stage for 2 weeks.

And now he has a fever. Doctors are seeking the cause.

His wife, Leigh Anne, now has to deal with the long-termness of this as most of the out-of-town visitors have left. She took the 3 children on Saturday to see their dad, the first time they'd done so since the accident. The two boys are 7 and 9, and the little girl's just 2.

I'm not mad at God. That may sound weird, but… I don't know why. Maybe I'm still waiting for it to sink in. Because I got past feeling like I was going to break down—without breaking down. Which makes me fear that I've only postponed the inevitable till 1 little stressor puts me over the edge.

Dustin and his family can use a lot of prayer, right now.

I had not caught your earlier posts, but I did today. This is certainly a tough situation. You may never know the 'why', so don't hang out there too much. I will pray for Dustin, his family and you, and would encourage you to hold onto Him through faith.

It is not unusual for Christians to experience the whole gammit of emotions in the midst of such tragedies. We are still people.
