Update...

Dad had all the tests today and they didn't find anything wrong. Not the heart and no blood clot. They did find that he was anemic again and are giving him 2 units of blood tonight. The kidney doctor said he had dropped in kidney function from 28% that he had been holding to 20% now. If they insert the dye to check the heart, veins and valves- it will destroy the remaining kidney function and he would have to do dialysis the rest of his life.
They are going to do a sleep apnea study.
Thanks for your prayers.

Earlier this morning...

Tiffany is not a morning person...she works evenings...and we get up with the chickens...
guess what disappeared today...
the farmer came and took away the corn...
he thought he could sneak in early and we wouldn't know it...
everyone's car is parked at my house except mine...

Prayer requests...

I sent one out last night in emails to friends and family everywhere and I have received back even more, so while you are praying for my dad, could you please add these to your list?
One friend has a father who had to undergo another heart surgery to replace a pace maker and defibrillator and is in the hospital now.
Another has a grandmother with cancer in the lungs and head.
If you could, keep them all in your heart and whispers in the next fews days and weeks and remember the family members dealing with each issue.
I also wanted to give you an update on the little girl who was hit in the eye with a BB. She went in on Monday and they tested her vision- 20/25. They didn't think it was at all possible so they retested her- and even a third time. Don't you love it when a miracle happens that baffles the doctors???

Thank you fpr your time and prayers and have a great day....don't waste a moment...
