At the beginning of October, Jim's Dad (Papaw) had a very serious surgery to remove part of his pancreas to rule out cancer. THANKFULLY it was not cancer. However, he had major complications after the surgery and has been in ICU for 6 weeks. He has fought hard and made it through some very scary moments. He was doing really for a while. Breathing on his own, talking on the phone, watching t.v. and etc...However, he did have a setback this week. He started running fever due to an infection. His blood pressure was not stable and he went back on the breathing machine. The breathing machine still is so much better than the ventilator!!! I know that he is in God's hand and many many people are praying for his healing. After a rough start to this week, he seems to have stablized and stayed that way all day today. They will start weaning him back off the breathing machine soon. Please pray this bump in the road will be his last bump in the road and he can get out of ICU soon and work on getting back home!!!
AR misses her Papaw very much. I know that if she could go in that room, his spirits would be sky high. She does talk to him on the phone often. We also take her to the main lobby of the hospital. There is a camera in there and he can watch the lobby from his room. AR has been telling us that "Papaw has a boo boo and Papaw feel better" Please keep him in your prayers and we can't wait to have him home again!!!
