In and Out of the hospital

Yesterday was big day in that the doctors went ahead and did the embolization procedure for dad.  This is the same procedure that he had just weeks ago to help stop the bleeding of his tumor in the intestines.  Again, we knew that it was possible that the tumor could bleed again.  While the procedure has worked and they have stopped the bleeding, we pray specifically that it doesn't bleed again.  During this hospital stay, he's had a total of eleven units of blood.  We are so thankful for those that choose to donate blood.  I know the next blood drive I see, I'm going in! :)

Huge praise today in that his blood levels are the highest they have been in several months!  Just five days ago, they were the lowest they had ever been.  Because his blood levels have risen, dad gets to go home TODAY!!  Crazy, I know!  But thankfully, he can fully rest and recuperate in the comfort of his own home.
