They just took Dad to get a biopsy to check for the presence of infection. A surgeon has been consulted, but we won't know if he needs surgery for one to two weeks. There is a possibility of kidney failure over time while he is still on the ventilator, and will more than likely need temporary
dialysis. The doctor is now calling what Dad has a drug induced
pancreatitis. He has been on two different medications that have in rare occasions have caused
pancreatitis. They are saying that he will probably be in ICU for two to four weeks. But there is always the possibility of a miracle, so keep praying! My mom and I will be checking this several times a day, and you can leave a message/comment for us on here. Again, thank you for all your prayers and support!

We continue to pray without ceasing for Robert. It is hard to think this is even happening. God's children faithfully pull together when one of his children is hurting. Thank you for posting an update so we can be updated about your dad's condition. We are praying out here in Indiana with our family & and Roy's family. Your dad is on our prayer line out here.
Your dad is so faithful in keeping in touch with so many friends and family members. Now, it is our turn to pray without ceasing for his healing.

Good Morning Jeanette and Rosanna~ I will be thinking about you and praying for you all today. Take care of yourselves... your health and clearity of mind will continue to play a big part in Robert's recovery.
It's fun to see all the people who have written to you. So many people all over the country are praying for one family...God must be so happy to hear his children come together and agree that He is the only place they have to turn for help. What a great place to rest... in His capable arms.
I love you and will see you later today. Call if you need anything.
Keep us updated... Jeanette, write some of the "stories" on the Blog... People would love to hear them.
You are on my mind and close to my heart today,
Wendy
Thank you for keeping us posted. We were surprised with the news of your Dad's condition, though our Heavenly Father wasn't, and that is comforting. We are missionaries in Brazil, my husband, Philip Stucky, played soccer with your Dad in college. We praise the Lord for the power and privilege of prayer. It helps bridge the many miles that separate us from family and friends. Be assured of our prayers for each of you and let us know how the Lord answers. He is fatihful and loves each of us soooo much, sit quietly in His "lap" and allow Him to hold you tightly as you wait for Him to answer our prayers. Love, Philip & Rachel Stucky
Dear Jeanette, Rosanna, and Robby,
Your family is in my prayers today. We know God is all powerful and able to do miraculous things. Take care to get rest and I will pray for peace during this time of trial.
Love, JoAnne Swanson
You're all in our thoughts and prayers. Praying for Bob's recovery, your whole family, the doctors.

Hi Jeanette,
I keep looking for an update, I would call, but wouldn't you know, I do not have your cell #. Pooh!!!
Just wondering how you are......
Lovingly, Neva

for your family during this trying

Rosanna,
Your dad and I worked together at Whiteaker for 4 years. I don't work there anymore but did a training there last Tuesday. Your dad was standing in front of the school and gave me a hug when he saw me. It is almost unbelievable that just a few hours later he was this ill. Your dad is a gem and, of course, I will be praying for him and your family. I will ask that he be put on the prayer chain at my church, Keizer Clear Lake United Methodist Church. Your dad is very special to me and I just hope that God will send us a miracle. Your dad is one of a kind!
Our family in Pasadena and Natalia's Intervarsity students in San Diego are in constant prayer for Robert at this time. We know how God is in perfect control. Lean on Him. Rejoice in the small things daily. We have tasted and seen God's goodness.
Our best to you all, Guillermo, Roseann, Natalia, and Phillip
