...and more


Well, Mom is home and doing ok. She said she was able to eat a little and when I spoke to her on the phone this morning she sounded very chipper! Then she called this afternoon - to tell me that they were admitting DAD to the hospital and he may have to have surgery! He has been bleeding internally and they do not know where it is coming from. He has has a bleeding ulcer in the past and this could be another, but he is in bad shape. My guess is that he was not feeling great this whole week, but didn't want to make a big deal about it with Mom's cancer stuff! Anyway, he will have more tests tomorrow - they will use a scope to try to figure out what is going on and then they will stop the bleeding. He is on morphine right now because the pain is pretty bad.
Needless to say, Mom is having a hard time with not being able to be there. Dad told her to stay home (smart move!) and she stayed at home with Gram today. My sister, Krissy took Dad and stayed with him all day. My brother and his wife (Mike and Gina) were going over tonight, and I think Dad's sister was goin to be there. This is all craziness...but I am thankful for family that is there for each other, friends and strangers alike praying for us all, and for God's faithfulness in everything!
Thank you, again for all your prayers and love!!!
