This has been a long six days and I came home last night to get things ready for Ken's return home. They have had him on blood thinners to dissolve the clot in his left lung and the doctor told me last night that he may send him home today. Ken had been having a lot of pain in his back from a pulled muscle (sacroilliac). Also, he is experiencing pain in his right lung due to the cancerous nodules. He needs a lot of prayer.
Because of his back and other conditions I am trying to get a hospital bed delivered so it will be here when he gets home. He has to sit or lie in a reclining position to relieve the pain in his back. Tresha, Mark and I are going to do some furniture rearranging in the back part of our living room today. I will have to store some of our furniture. Ken did not want to be stuck in the bedroom and I don't blame him.
Also, the doctors removed the catheter on the weekend that he has been using for about 3 months now. This also presents a definite need for a hospital bed. I don't think they are going to reinsert it because Ken continues getting urinary tract infections.
As far as the Poly MVA goes, I will have to give it to him orally in bigger doses because I cannot transport him back and forth to Edmond now. It is 300 miles round trip three days a week. It would be very dangerous to transport because of the blood thinners that he is on. Also, right now he is not well enough.
God is still in the miracle business and Ken and I have not given up hope for his complete healing and restoration. We both need strength--spiritually and physically. We appreciate all of you for your prayers, concern, and encouragement. God bless you.
Added note about my niece, Rhonda.
I just found out that Rhonda is having surgery today for esophagus cancer. They are going to completely remove her esophagus and pull her stomach up to make a new one. She will have to learn how to eat all over again. Please pray that God will guide the hands of the doctors and that Rhonda will have a complete recovery soon. Her teenage girl, Sarah, and her little three-year old boy, Jeffrey, really need their Mom. Rhonda is a sweet young woman and deserves to be able to be here on this earth for her children.
