Rough Weekend.

After I posted on Saturday, Dad had a rough night. My sister, Jamie, and her two children came to see Mom and Dad on Saturday afternoon. They were so glad to see them, but during dinner, Dad seemed to continue to feel worse and worse with his swollen abdomen. He tried to rest for a little bit, then walk for a bit, but nothing seemed to give him relief. He stayed sick for awhile, then began to have a little relief. His color also seemed yellowish. They chose not to feed him anything through the feeding tube last night, and he said he felt a little less tightness this morning.
All this leads to another trip to MDA on Monday. They are going to take Dad down to the ER to see if they can try to figure out what may be causing this swelling and pain. They were scheduled for more tests at the end of this week, and also scheduled to get the j-tube out this week as well. Hopefully they can just start running the tests early and get him taken care of. Once again, please pray for wisdom for the Drs. that will be taking care of him, and for safe travel for them. Also, for comfort for Dad.
Thank you again, JJ

Mike and Jan,
Have safe travel to Houston. We will be continuing to pray for wisdom for the doctors to help Mike feel better and also some assurance about the whole situation. We will pray for a better week all around and positive outcomes.

We love you and all the memories from good ole Keller days.

I awoke earlier this morning with Mike and all on my mind. After reading your blog, I know better how to pray today.

Praying for wisdom for the doctors. Safe travel and physical and emotional strength. But, above all, God's peace.

Love to you all,
Jim and Donnave

Mike, Jan & kids,

You are very much on our minds and always in our prayers. We're praying that the MDA Anderson crew can help Mike work through these complications so the healing can begin in earnest.

Thanks again JJ, for the regular updates.
