Rough Day - Prayer needed

Today is just one of those days. The morning was pretty good. Mike had his CBC and then got a Neuprin shot (for low White Blood Cell count). We came home and walked up to to school to pick up Elizabeth. That was good! Mike also sat outside to absorb some rays.

However, today, Mike is still throwing up that nasty brown stuff. He is not eating really and barely drinking. He has lost 5 pounds since Monday. And he is supposed to start all over again on Monday??? Tonight I have prayed that God wakes me if Mike needs care. I am nervous that we might be in the ER at some point this weekend. I don't know why other than his lack of fluids and throwing up.

We also found out today that Bill Curry- Bill from Sarasota and ANWC - passed away on Sunday in Cuba. All we know is that he contracted an infection. He beat it for awhile and then took a turn for the worst and passed quickly. Our hearts are both broken and full of praise at the same time. Words can not express our gratitude, love, and sense of loss. We know Bill is a Christian and is now with Jesus.

Prayer Request:
Mike to eat and drink more without throwing up
Mike to gain weight and strength
Healing for the throw up issue
Sleep and rest
Wisdom in treatment for us and for all the Doctors/Nurses
Our House to sell in FL
Elizabeth and wisdom in helping her deal with Bill's death

Praise List:
Bill Curry and his legacy
Mike's CBC count was good
TPN and Lipids - the IV's that we do here. Without these Mike would probably be in the hospital tonight
For everyone that is passing along our house information
Friends who call and listen even when you cry
Jesus's blood on the cross that cleansed us so that our life is not about this earth. It is about our real home with him for eternity
My mother looks great and is doing very well

Wow! What news about Bill Curry! Great to read, though, that your Mom is doing so well! We're praying that Mike can stay out of the hospital! Gini for all
