Friends-
Dad had a good night and was able to sleep fairly well through the evening. Thankfully, his blood has thickened to a level that we want. His overall blood level is not quite were we need it, so he is getting two more units of blood today. We're still not sure if the internal bleeding has stopped, so we continue to pray for that and that his blood levels get to where they need to be and stay up.
After breakfast, dad did get sick and wasn't able to keep anything down. It's possible that the bleeding tumor is blocking liquids from passing. Dad's been given medication to help keep the liquids from building up and his eating plan for the day has changed from three large meals to 6 small ones. He will continue to be monitored throughout the day and we pray the medication and smaller meals help. It's possible that if it doesn't work, he will get a stent procedure to allow the food/liquids to bypass the tumor. I'll keep you all posted on this.
We continue to ask for no visitors at this time as dad may continue to vomit and he needs additional rest so he can come home. We understand your intention in wanting to visit, but know that you'll be able to visit at a later time when he's feeling better.

Dear Jeanne and family: Praying for Mike. His road has been so long and difficult. I know yours has been also. You continue to be such a testimony to all of us. Your strength and faith is so amazing and a testimony to the one who holds all of you in his strong right hand. Will continue to pray.
Love you Jeanne and Mike.
