He is Scrounging for food people!

Miraculous things continue to unfold in front of me. I was watching TV with Mike and he got up and went to the pantry. I ask him what he was doing and he said, "Looking for something to eat." Wow. Praise God!

I came home yesterday and Mike and eat a pear (skin and all) like an apple. Incredible. Praise God!

Elizabeth and I were out late running activities and Mike put our dinner in the oven and had it ready for us. He pulled in trash cans. He folded laundry. Huh?? Praise God!

I know. There are such simple things, but really huge steps. He was unable to do any of that just a few months ago. He is eating more and more everyday. Turkey meat loaf. Broccoli Rabi. Pears. Ginger Snaps. Homemade bread from Angie. For everyone who has followed this blog for so long, I know you will recognize the miracle.

I did make Mike a breakfast taco yesterday. It didn't work. We are starting to think that eggs don't do well for him anymore. He got sick on a over easy egg - sick on the breakfast burrito on Sunday - sick on the breakfast taco yesterday.

Mike's platelets are up to 92 as of this morning. They are coming up, but not up enough. So we have a break for the entire weekend!! No doctors appointments until Tuesday. Chemo, maybe next week.

We have so much to be thankful for today. We are still trying to get the VA and DFAS talking to each other. DFAS says they must receive communication from the VA about concurrent receipt and the VA says they already sent it. So we faxed over to DFAS the VA documents we received with a letter, saved the confirmation, and filed it. We have done as much as we can do with that. So we will see what happens.

We lowered the price another $5,000 on the house. I keep going back and forth about switching Realtors. I like my current one, but maybe a switch would be the best thing to get it sold. Everyone loves the house who sees it, but no one is buying and we just can't afford a huge loss and we are very close to the amount of a loss we can handle.

We had some issues with the pool as well and it may not be done yet. We will see if the new company can remove the stains on the liner. I just pray they can!

All these are minor and unimportant in the big picture. My family is still here and God is still in control. Heaven awaits and that is the BIG picture.

Prayer Needs:
Mike to eat enough to get rid of the TPN (this is his liquid food he gets every day over 14 hours via IV)
Mike's blood levels to keep improving
Mike to start gaining muscle mass
Our house in FL to sell
The stains to come out of the pool liner
Financial prudence

Praise:
This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!
