Easter Sunday

Kelly, Dan and I have been down at the hospital today with mom and dad. We watched Easter services together (two churches) but weren't able to be with mom as she was feeling rough and still having some issues that caused her to have to get some rest.

If she feels better tomorrow and her oxygen levels stay up, then the doctor may allow her to go home. We are working to get her hospice help at the house and with a ministry at the church that gives support to those going through times like this.

Please pray for her kidney function and oxygen levels. Her lungs are fine, but she is having difficulty breathing. Also, please pray that the Lord will protect her from any infections as they just found some bacteria in her urine and that could delay her departing the hospital too. 

We need to get her out of the hospital strong enough to live at home with a little help from hospice. Then, the job would be building her immune system strong enough to get her low dose chemo treatments.

Also, pray for the family and our health too. Dan and I seem to be coming down with colds and that means that we can't go around mom and really, that we don't need to be around dad either. That is really tough for us wanting to help as much as possible.

Thank the Lord for helping with the potassium levels. They are back to normal now!
