Not much has changed since the last update. Dad is still sedated and is "sleeping." The GI team came in and said they weren't going to take action just yet. The nurses gave him an enema (sorry again dad if that embarasses you) to help the process. The hiccups are still brutal and pretty much ongoing. They came to suction him again through the tube, but this time he didn't even cough - he's just out of it today because of the meds. Mom and I are going out to dinner tonight. Aunt Barbara is taking us out to eat. She's not actually an aunt, but we consider her family. Barbara is also so graciously paying for our hotel stay which is a huge weight off of our shoulders. We don't technically have to stay in a hotel, but it is so nice to be just minutes from the hospital and not have to fight the traffic. She is such a very generous person and she has done and continues to do so much for our family. Thanks Barbara. Thank you all too for your generosity. It is very touching to us that all of you would put so much stock into our lives, but we know you care about us and dad, so we are still going to take advantage of that for as long as we can.
Love,
Cejae

We are definitely praying for you and the whole family. I love the posts and have been reading them since Michele posted about them on FB. Keep it up and keep seeking God's face when you are down. He answers prayer!

Thank you guys SO much. You have no idea how much it means to all of us to know that we have so much support. Thanks so much for all of your prayers, kind words, and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteSO GLAD your followers are growing! I had hoped this would be a little easier for you to keep everyone updated. Thinking about you guys a LOT tonight...especially the girls (obviously...butt, butt, coconut!) Dad already has his infinite list of questions to ask and right now the plan is for him to come up on Friday. You figured out how to add a picture!!! I will e-mail you a few if I can find some good ones! Love you all!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Guys,
ReplyDeleteWe are following the news here in Holland and just something occured to me! My mother was put on morphine after her surgery in April and she was nausated and sick all the time. She got better as soon as she was given another type of sedative. Take care, I am happy your are eating out, you have to keep yourselves healthy for John's sake! Lots of love to all of you, Gyongyi
