Update
Not too much to report. We are holding steady, his white count is down (good), his electrolytes are improved and stable, he isn't in any pain, but kidneys are still not kicking. They are functioning at about 20-25%. In order for him to receive chemotherapy, his creatinine needs to be at 2.0 and it was at 2.6 yesterday. His creatine is at 2.9 today, which isn't too happy, but they are starting steroids which should "assist" his kidneys in improving their functioning. It is pretty unlikely that he will be able to receive chemo this week, which is disappointing. We are prayerful. This MUST be the focus of our prayers. He's pretty sleepy and has not strength. He is eating, and digestion has returned to functioning, PRAISE GOD! Sorry for the short update. But Daddy's calling.

I called DeeDee in Sturgis the other day to remind her that we are praying for the family as well as for the man. We appreciate the blog information (I know how demanding it can be to keep up with information like that, thank you Cari), we continue our rotating fast days and our fervent prayers. Seems like the last week especially Liz and Mom and I (part of your So Cal team) have been saying, "I've been thinking about Tom all day today" only for the others to say, "me too!" I don't sense from your updates that being "alone" in this is ever a threat, nevertheless, we have not forgotten and we do not forget. Big love, Lauralee
