Bryndi and I spent the afternoon today with dad. Although he said this morning was quite a rough ride, this afternoon the nurses have been able to stabilize his blood pressure and give him enough medication to help him feel a little more comfortable. Right now he is getting some well deserved and needed sleep. We are grateful for the blessing of having a great medical team waiting on him.
Just a few minutes ago, the doctor said that the negative trends (low blood pressure and kidney failure) seem to be leveling out. He is receiving antibiotics to help him fight off the pneumonia. Once that is done, he will likely start chemo to treat the leukemia. We are optimistic that the pneumonia and "bad blood" will be fought and won over the next few days.
Although his body is right now a pin cushion, his spirits are quite high. Family spirits are also good, considering. We all feel that he and we are in the Lord's care and we feel all of your prayers.

Hang in there guys--use the power of visualization. Envision the posatives you'd like to see.
My mother in law had surgury to clamp a brain aneurism, and after 6 weeks, her doctor said her recovery was equal to that of 1.5 years, all due to her posative attitude, and prayer.
Love you guys!
Love Kathy Grove
