Smile... Just Smile

A quick update:
Dad has had a very hard day today and for the last two weeks. He has been throwing up consistently. On Thursday, he was prescribed antibiotics because his symptoms had gotten so much worse early last week (scary high fevers, dramatic chills, nausea, low blood pressure, really high pulse rate, etc.). The last few nights he has slept better, the antibiotics seem to be helpful.

Mom is working on getting him the right amount of medicine (which is hard to track because he throws up a lot of it).

Yet, through it all, tonight he still smiles and says "Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow" and Mom and I find the humor in our poor mathematical ability/memory as we attempted to figure out how many ounces a 1000mL is... :) ah, silly American metric system.

  1. Thank you for the updates, Katherine, Shanna, Aaron (and David). While we're not as consistent with phone calls, we always stay informed through these very articulate and insightful descriptions of your lives. We think of you all often and pray daily for less pain, more healing and generally, more smiles.

    We love you! Tina, Pete, Amber, Ashley & Krista
