Saturday Evening Update on Randy, July 5... Not much rest last night, for no reason. New today was a tough love comment from the doc: Force yourself to eat. Add 200 calories to your daily diet... So those 15 days of no food are catching up with him! Weight loss of nearly 30 pounds!Blood issues continue to be monitored and he is getting his second unit of blood right now. We are told that his ANC needs to be at 1000 and his is zero. I have been told that this is all typical. We are in this thing for a while! But, we will do whatever it takes to get to the other side! We are just keeping our hope set, our eyes fixed upon The Lord! And, as my dad told me again today, that as we wait (twist around) on The Lord, He will renew (exchange) our strength! Im glad hes my dad...wonderful words of encouragement spoken at just the right time! The docs have identified an infection in the line in his chest, through which theyve been administering all meds, so she took that out and now he has peripheral lines in his arms! We feel good about clinical progress today! Appetite continues to slowly inch up: he topped off his supper with half of a strawberry milkshake! Maybe this will help boost those calories!! (My vanilla milkshake was completely consumed---Ive always been a good patient!!) Please continue to pray for the following: nutrition (calories to multiply!), blood issues, any procedure that he must undergo to move forward. For example, in pulling out that chest line, his lungs could have deflated. It happened so quickly, I couldnt even get out a prayer request. Also pray for his spirits to be lifted as we daily continue this journey. We believe that whatever The Lord starts, He finishes. Were in it...to win it! The Lord fights for us!! Blessings for a wonderful day of worship tomorrow! Gnight from Room 7328!!!
