As all of us were praying for the Lord to intervene, He was. Last night, Dad had a rough time about 2am on. He started having chest pain, and trouble breathing. They came in and gave him an ekg, thinking he might be having a heart attack, and also gave him a breathing treatment. He was not having a heart attack, but they gave him another dose of loritab, and the pain got better. The breathing treatment helped as well. The Dr. this morning said that he would not leave this morning, they would watch him all day, and see if he might be able to go stay at the Rotary house tonight. They do not feel good about letting him go to the Ranch at this time, at least for another day or so, they want him to stay close to the hospital.
Even after all this, Dad told Mom he wants to go to the Ranch. I talked with him this morning, and he told me he thinks he will rest better, and get better faster at home, out of the hospital. I reminded him that Mom doesn't have a breathing machine at the Ranch, but he said he still wants to go home.
I know he is sick of the hospital!! I know he wants to get away from all those nurses and Drs., but we must continue to pray that ONLY if it is the Lord's plan for him to leave, that they will release him, and not Dad's plan. Pray for patience on Dad's part, and good nurses and Drs. this weekend. The weekend crew is working, and not the ones that have been taking care of him all week.
Thanks for all your interest and concern in our situation. Yes, it has been a roller coaster week, but we do know God is in control, and we trust Him in all this. He is so good in the way he works, and His timing is perfect. Praise Him that none of us, not the nurses, Drs., or even Dad can thwart His plan.
I will keep you posted, JJ

I am releaved that Mike has to stay another day. We are praying for patience for your dad as I have said before and also wisdom from God for the doctors. I can't blame him for wanting to go home, though.
It has been quite evident that God has His hand in this and He has certainly heard LOTS of prayers recently.
Prehaps we are all better for it!
Keep Looking Up,

I'm so thankful Mike had to stay. I know he is having a hard time staying in that hospital but this will pass. I was just thinking about all of the people praying for you guys..there's sooo many! My mom said something while we were in L.A. about imagining all of our prayer warriers holding hands around our building...soo, I wonder how large your circle is?! Huge!! And, you are in the middle! You are covered in prayer...I love you guys...

It's good that we know that God's hand is in all of this. Do you realize that most people would see Mike's pain this a.m. as a setback? But, we know that it is God moving to achieve His purposes! We are not discouraged! Hallelujah!
What Satan means for ill, God uses for our good.
Mike and Jan,
We are still thinking of you each and every day & checking for the updates. Lifting you up to our Healer & closest Friend! Oh, how we are asking Him to overwhelm you with His presence and peace this very day.
We love you,
Anthony & Kristin
