Lost 40 lbs.

Dad has had some good days and some not so good days since I posted last.
On Sunday, Dad actually rode into town with Mom to go to church, but once they got there, he started feeling upset in his stomach, and stayed in the car during the service. He felt pretty bad the rest of the day. He had a better day today, but felt bad all day yesterday.
He thanked the Lord for how he felt today, knowing that tomorrow might not be as good.
His gut has gone all the way back down, but he has lost a total of 40 lbs thus far.
They are scheduled for Dr's appointments on Monday in Houston. They are planning on going by New Braunfuls to see Jamie and her crew for the weekend, before heading down to Houston on Sunday.
Dad still says nothing really sounds good to him to eat, and he never really wants to eat, please keep praying for his appetite to return. Hopefully, if the doctors feel it is ok, they are going to pull the jtube on Monday. He is looking forward to getting that out.
Thank you again for praying and for being patient with me and the spread out updates.
In His Grace, JJ

Hi J.J.,
I'm so sorry your dad has lost so much weight. I don't even know what to say except I will keep praying. I'm still praying that October is a verrrry good month for your mom and dad.
I'm still carrying around the verses from Daniel 2...just hang on to those words!!
Love you,
Brenda
