Howdy, folks!
Time flies when you're having fun and my mom and dad have been having lots of fun lately!
Mom is continuing her stay here with the Marshes of Ruxton and I think she is going to stay as long as I keep making her my special scrambled eggs and my wife keeps watching Hallmark channel romances with her! Mom is slowly regaining her strength and we will be going back on March 25 to meet with her doctors to start working on the next steps in her treatment for defeating her lymphoma. Mom is exerting her will more and more each day as she strives to become more independant so please be praying for her not to take any falls as we progress in this area. I guess living with a Marsh man for 40plus years can really help you develop in the strength-of-will category! If you're in the area and want to swing by for a visit please give us a call and come on by; we're not going anywhere for a while.
Dad has really been keeping me busy the past several weekends - which is why I haven't posted an update in a little while. The past two weekends we have been back in the hospital as dad has been called in as a possible backup for liver transplants. The first weekend he was third on the list and only one good liver came in and this past weekend we were second on the list and only one liver made it in. Dad was needing a visit anyway as he received 4 units of blood to help refill the blood tank that is pretty constantly leaking at this point with his liver disease. The doctors discovered a number of ulcers that werer causing a good bit of the bleeding and if all goes well dad will be coming back home today at some point once they're sure they have this under control. The wait for a liver goes on in the meantime and we will keep the posts coming.
Call us if you have any questions and we'll get back to you if we can't pick up.
Thanks,
Pat
