Long Night and Day.. NOT letting go of our Savior

I stayed with Mike in the hospital last night. The pain for Mike is pretty significant. He is hurting in his back and abdomen and continues to be weak. Prayers have been flowing. I have had a lot of help from family and friends. We put Mike on a morphine pump this afternoon and then had the doctor add another pain medication to help with the break through pain. We finally got on top of the pain around 5:00 pm this evening. We also put a Foley catheter in so he wouldn't have to get up to go to the bathroom. It has gotten to the point where he didn't have the strength to pull his legs on the bed after he collapses into bed after going to the bathroom.

I want to make it clear that we are not done fighting but the battle is huge. This afternoon was extremely hard and Mike has been in the worst pain and calling to Jesus. I do love him for that. Even in his most severe moments, he is calling to Jesus. That is how firmly he is planted with the Savior. AND we are not letting go....

Mike as asked me to blog that he says thank you for the prayers and please keep pouring it on.

I am asking to you pray for Elizabeth and my family and local friends that are surrounding us right now. Things are changing all the time and everyone is bending so I can be here non-stop with Mike.
