Rollercoaster

I don't even know how to start this entry. I am kind of struggling today. We made it to all of the doctor's appointments today and have come away with not good news. The staph infection is still lingering and it is time to pull the port. We will pull the port on Monday morning at 6:00 am and get a PICC line installed in Mike's arm to continue the IV antibiotics and TPN. Hopefully, by Friday of next week we will have cleared up the staff and then we will get a new port put in.

Mike is losing weight despite the TPN and eating. He is down to 158. We have our PET Scan tomorrow at 8:00 am to verify if the cancer is growing.

Mike ate some sushi (all cooked) and threw up phlegm this afternoon. This is very nerve racking. Mike throwing up in the past like that is an indication that his esophagus might be closing up again.

Anyone tired of this rollercoaster yet?? I wish I could love Mike to complete healing. I guess there is only one love that can do that and it was done at the cross.

The worst part about today is that the last days have been so incredible. Mike and I want walking on the square in McKinney and stopped at a coffee shop and had coffee together. We went grocery shopping. Mike went to school and had lunch with Elizabeth by himself. Mike went to church last night. He even had dinner at church. He is eating more and more. He is stronger and feels better every day and yet here we are.....

We will not fear. Fear is the opposite of Faith.

Pray:
For incredible results with the PET Scan
For an incredible weekend
For the antibiotic to keep the staph infection from doing any harm until we can get the port removed on Monday.
For Mike to gain weight.
To be strong and not waiver
To bind Satan's attacks
For our house in FL to sell... someone has looked at it and it is in their top 2 houses. They will be buying a house by the end of the weekend. There is also an open house on Sunday at the house.

Praise:
for the cross
for laughter and being together
for new friends that are not afraid to build relationships with us because of our situation. They can see past cancer.
that Mike has no physical signs of the staph infection.
