Saturday Hospital Update

May 21, 2011

If you scroll down to the previous two posts titled "A Tale of Two Hospitals", and "Welcome Baby Anderson", you'll quickly catch up on the fact that it's been a busy start to the weekend.

Just wanted to post an update on my dad's current condition and hospital stay. He underwent a battery of heart tests yesterday, and the cardiologist came to see him late last night. It appears that the chest pain was being caused by fluid around the heart and inflammation of the heart.

The pain finally dissipated after Dad received dialysis yesterday morning. He was much more comfortable by the afternoon. Because dialysis seems so critical to keeping him well these days, the hospital sent him for dialysis this morning, too.

We don't know how much longer he'll be in the hospital, but it's the best place for him right now and he's resting more comfortably.

Thanks for your prayers, calls, emails, etc!

(P.S. Baby Anderson and Mommy... my sister Emily... are still doing GREAT!!)

Thanks for the update! We have definitely been praying for you and your family.

Such a cute bundle of joy! It got to see my grandbaby this week-end as well as I went to Orlando to help them again with their stroller rental business. KingdomStrollers.com. Pray for them as well as Matt did leave Cracker Barrel and this will be their income; pray for guidance and steady growth of this newly formed business and that God will continue to bless them with this venture. We are so just so glad you are better. My sister finished her chemo last week so now on to radiation.

Take care my friends!
