April 2nd

Sorry it's been a couple of days...what day is it, again??


It was a rough night....quite a few icky numbers....scary! Now, however, the doctor is taking a different direction. His belly was accumulating fluids and pushing up on his lungs keeping him from easy breathing. They drained 2 and a half liters of fluid from him today. He's still on dialysis around the clock and his numbers are holding. He is so much more comfortable, too with the fluid gone. We will again try food tonite and see how it goes. We have a long, rough road ahead of us if he is to leave the hospital. So we patiently (or not too patiently, sometimes) take just one minute, one hour, one day at a time, holding God's hand.....or letting him hold us in His hands! I have a bed to sleep on in his room now so getting better rest, except for last night! Our kids are here everyday and my sisters and sister in law are here or running errands for me daily. Thanks for your prayers and wishes. Though Jerry's not up to visitors, I'd love to hear from you via email or phone anytime.


Thanks for standing with us!


Love,
