Friends,

It does appear that dad may be in the hospital for a few days to recover.  We've learned that dad did lose a significant amount of blood from the internal bleeding.  Over the next few days, dad will be given additional blood and medication to help get him stabilized and feeling well enough to come home.  Dad did have some negative reactions from the blood he was receiving, so the nurses/doctors have been giving him some medication to help calm the symptoms he's getting.  This medication causes dad to be very tired and he is in much need of rest.  During his stay at the hospital, we do ask for NO visitors, we want to allow time for rest and a quick recovery. 

We've all been so encouraged by your prayers, thoughts, emails and text messages.  THANK YOU! 

Continued Prayer Requests:

• The internal bleeding does indeed stop
• Dad's blood levels get back to normal
• No side effects from new blood received
• Praise for the kindness coming from the nurses and the doctors
• No new blood clots form now that he is permanently off blood thinning medication (while he still needs this medication, it's more important to stop the internal bleeding)
