Waiting in the waiting room

Waiting rooms are where you wait.  That should be a profound statement, but today it only brings exhaustion and fear.  For today I sit in the waiting room of ICU.  I got a call at about 1 am that Todd had had a seizure and had fallen in his room.  A few hours later that call came again he'd had another one. This time he was transfered to ICU.  A CAT scan was done.  I can't tell you all the medical terms and such, cause I don't understand them, but they 'think' there may be some fluid in his brain.  So they did a drain from his spine.  They had to sedate him to keep him still during the procedure.  Thankfully he's sleeping now, something he did little of all weekend.  ( I think it was only an hour or two total).  
So I sit and wait, and pray, and wait some more.
"They that wait upon The Lord will renew their strength..."
I'm so thankful for my loving family that sat and waited with me for several hours, till I told them to just go home and rest.  Mom and Dad, Deb and Kim and Kristi you have shown love beyond measure.  Thank you to all the others that have texted or called and those that are praying.  Words can't seem to express my gratitude.
