Update - Dad still in icu at the hospital, he hasnt been able to eat or drink since he went in. They did a test yesterday down his throat to check for blockage or damage. They did not find blockage but they did find that his muscles are weak, they are putting in a feeding tube today to get nutrition. After they put in tube Dr is going to get him up and around to see how he does to determine if he can go home with home care or send him to rehab til he is strong. They are going to change his blood thinner and monitor for 3wks then put him back on his regular heart medication. The fluid is off his lungs. The gual stones they cant do anything for, they are not infected or causing any problems. He is in very good spirits. Mom is doing good also. Kent is coming today from CA. Thank you all for your prayers and love.

Lois: Thanks for the update. I am thinking about your Dad, Mom, and your family a lot. Hope things go well, and your Dad is able to go home to recuperate quickly. Will keep in touch.

P.S. Enjoy your site, but it is very hard to read your blogs due to the background, and message colors are "dark"
Still praying!
