Just talked with Mom. Dad is in a procedure right now to drain fluid off of his lungs. He has continued to feel bad this morning, and the Dr.'s said he has a lot of fluid in his lungs. After they finish this, he should feel much better. They are still not sure where the infection is, but they do know that his white blood count is still elevated, and they feel he would probably be running fever if it were not for the loritab, which contains Tylenol. Mom said he should be done with this procedure about 4pm, it is almost 2pm right now. Please pray everything goes well. Mom said this is like a surgery because they will have to put him to sleep, and go through his side instead of down his throat.
Right now, they plan on keeping Dad in the hospital until they know what is going on and he starts to do better. We are thankful for this.
Thank you for your comforting words on the blog. Mom, and our whole family are encouraged and amazed by all of you and your consistent prayers for Dad. We praise God for each of you, and as one of you put on the comments, you are right, this is no surprise to God. His plan is perfect, this is not a setback to Him, this is all part of the story that He is writing for my Dad's life. Praise Him, no matter what.
In Him, JJ and the Janszen Kids

As I read your post I am reminded of how fragile our human lives truly are and how strong and wonderful our Savior is! Thank you for sharing - I have come to love your mom & dad - I don't know you all (the kids) too well, but I'm sure that I would love you too! Our prayers are with you all!
Love, Paulette
