Hi Everyone,

MOM IS HOME!! Yea!  I sprung her this afternoon.  She said last night that she wanted to go home so she did!  She is relaxing this evening with a game of Freecell and Scrabble and watching her own TV.  I am going to stay overnight tonight.  I need to go get her new meds this evening.  Her friend Joyce went to the store and brought her some food.  She seems to be her self again and that is such a blessing.

Mike, on the other hand, had a traumatic day today.  His liver counts are still on the rise and so they wanted to try a feeding tube – not the usual NG tube but a smaller one. They are hoping that with the nutrition going into his gut his liver will get a break.  The IV feeding is harder on the liver.  They got it in and it was there for about a half hour and Mike pulled it out.  He is just not aware of what is happening right now and I’m sure it felt bad so out it came!  The nurse felt really bad and she said they may try again tomorrow but tonight they were going to let him be.  He has been through so much lately.

Tomorrow I think Ron and Sara (cousins from Ohio) are going to try and see Mike after the UofM game.  (I hope they win this one!)  Hopefully their visit will go well. 

I wish I had more positive things to report but I don’t right now.  I am hoping to hear about the test results maybe early next week.  I will probably go on Tuesday or Wednesday to see Mike.  I really wish I could be there all the time, but such goes life!

Thanks again for your support and prayers.  Mom is much stronger and doing very well and it is just great to have her home again.

love, Ann
