Prayers Needed
Rod was admitted back into the hospital Sunday evening. To be honest, they aren't real sure what is going on. His blood counts are not rising like the Dr's would like to see, so they are consulting with some other Dr's to try and get some answers.
Please pray for Rod, Sue, the boys, and the Dr's that are working with Rod. Pray that they are able to find some answers and get him feeling better.

Home!
Rod made it home last Friday! Just in time for his birthday Saturday!
He is retaining water from all of the fluid he was given while in the hospital, so his legs & feet are pretty swollen. This is making it hard for him to walk around and gain his strength back. He is able to walk around with his walker and is gaining strength everyday. He is eating and even got to indulge in ice cream & birthday cake!
Due to his stay in the hospital last week, chemo was pushed back to this coming Thursday. Please say a quick prayer that he is able to keep his strength through this treatment!

This Week.....
Well, Rod has been admitted to the hospital again. He was doing AWESOME last week, had some really great days where he was up and moving around and even walked out to the mailbox! Friday he was having some really bad back pain and developed a fever. A trip to the ER was in order and they discovered he had an infection. He was admitted & given IV antibiotics.
Dr's words, "He's a mystery". They can't pin point why he keeps getting infections, but right now staying on top of his pain is a big focus. Talks are in motion of what the next move is going to be, but until then, please keep Rod & Sue and the boys in your prayers. They are all so strong, but really need support & prayers during this time.
As always, thank you again for everyone's love and support. The meals & cards are still pooring in and are such a great help and relief.
