Andy's Dad update

Today, Andy's dad had two heart attacks while in the hospital with complications due to chemo. He had been on dialysis and TPN nutrition and after the heart attacks today, he was in a lot of pain, but lucid. He decided, with the support of the family, to stop artificial means of life support, including nutrition and dialysis. He will enter hospice tomorrow and continue only pain medication. The doctor said a healthy person can go 11 days without food, and since Don is not healthy, it will probably be 3-5 days. Please pray for the last few days with family to be rich and sweet, and for minimal pain for Don until his passing into eternal life with Jesus. Pray for Chris, Don's wife, and Lisa, Andy's sister, and Andy. Also, Don's siblings, Janece, Warren, and Karen.

thanks for praying

Thank you for your prayers - Andy's dad is doing much better. He is on the oncology floor now instead of ICU. I will try to update again soon. :)

Please pray

Andy's dad is in the hospital with complications due to chemo. He has a rare type of prostate cancer which is in his bones and elsewhere in his pelvic region. This is a recurrence of a cancer that he recovered from a few years ago. Right now, he went into the hospital with pain in his hips, and they found that he had an infection, septic shock, and then last night he ended up having a heart attack. He is stable and was awake and coherent today.

Please pray for Don (Andy's dad), Chris (Andy's stepmom), Andy and Lisa (Andy's sister). I will update when we hear more.

unpacking is yucky

I truly despise unpacking. That is why I'm posting on the blog and not unpacking right now. :P
