Sat September 20 - 11:oo pm

Well, as we supposed, we didn't get a report today on the scan of his pancreas. But we have learned that the longer you stay in the hospital when you are starting to feel well enough to go home, the more "testy" you get! We also learned that only about 6 visitors, 1 patient and 2 nurses with their computer on wheels, can fit in the room comfortably. But most importantly we found out today that if a nurse puts an extra IV in an unnecessary spot, the hospital quickly brings in gift cards to your favorite restaurants!
Hopefully tomorrow we will have a restful, mellow day with no more all liquid food trays and no procedures to wait and wait and wait for transport to come with the gurney.
Thanks for walking with us.
On another note, would you please pray for my younger brother, Mike. He has been ill for 3 weeks with a severe headache and vomiting, among other things. After ruling out many things, West Nile virus is still suspected, even though the test came back negative. Pray that he will get in to see the right Dr's much faster than predicted and find some answers and relief. Thanks - we know first hand that prayers make a BIG difference in how things are handled.

Great to see you guys today. Proud of you Robert. You have battled. Reminded of days we had staff meetings on the same floow when I was in during 1989. Great to catch up some more. We're praying. Hello, Pete, and Robert filled me in some. I'll be in touch.

Jeanette, can you send me an updated email for Mike?

God bless,
Mike
