Mike Kagerer

Hi Everyone,

Yes, I do have the time right.  Mike and I are at UofM Hospital tonight after he had two blackouts at home.  They were brief, he didn’t fall, he just blacked out and sat back down in the chair.  Mom called me at 6:20pm Saturday at my house (I had just gotten home at 2pm Sat. afternoon) and said that Mike had blacked out twice and that the on call BMT Doc said that he needed to be seen at UofM.  So I grabbed my stuff and headed back to Flint.  Chris, Sue and Ray were at the house and were going to take him but Mike wanted to wait until I got there.  When I arrived Ray and Sue loaded Mike up into mom’s car and he and I were off arriving at the hospital emergency around 9pm.  Chris stayed with Mom until I called so that she wouldn’t be alone! They took blood and determined that he was dehydrated from his rapid water weight loss the last few days.  His kidneys were calling out for help so Mike was admitted at 12:30am Sunday morning. 

At 2:30am his room was ready (this time with a view of the river ) and so we headed up to his room.  The nurse is asking some questions now so I headed to the lounge to post since I hadn’t posted last night and now it is Sunday.

I am staying the rest of the night with Mike in his room and then later I’ll head back to Flint to see Mom.  I may go home and spend tonight with my family. 

Hopefully, Mike will be home to Flint again on Monday.  I’ll let you all know.  Keep praying.  This is just a very minor setback for the long journey!!  His great news this week of no cancer in his bone marrow or lymph nodes is too wonderful to allow this to shadow it!!!

love and goodnight, Ann
