Going Home Today

Doc says Ric will be going home from the hospital today - don't know exactly what time yet. Ric is very happy about that. The diarrhea is still here but slowed down a tiny bit. Imodium will be our friend until we can get that stopped. He will have to take potassium orally and focus on keeping himself hydrated. Blood work on Monday (his birthday) to make sure things are still where they need to be. Then figuring out when the scans will be done. Looks like I'm going to have to cancel/reschedule the New York trip. Not sure when and not looking forward to traveling there in November or December. We'll have to talk to Dr. Issacs tomorrow or Monday to see what we should do. So prayers please for Ric's continued healing. Holly's perspective on this delay before the scans is that God needed a little more healing time for Ric before we see what's going on. Please continue praying for my brother Alan & his family - he's got colon cancer - been through surgery and chemo. He's a much bigger guy than Ric but apparently has lost like 80 lbs. My sister Becky is having surgery tomorrow to remove a cancerous polyp in her lower colon so please pray for her, hubby Frank and her doctors. Pray for my parents - that they would be at peace with all this chaos going on around them in their family. And last but not least keep little Hannah, Frank, Octaviano,Vermalinda & Janelle in your prayers that they would be healed from their cancer.
