Today has been another good day. Dad got up and walked several times and has been able to rest. His pain levels have been down slightly and his day seemed to go by quicker. Currently the doctors are a little concerned about a few things. They ran a vascular test on his veins and arteries around his kidney and then a test on his kidney. Both seemed to be functioning properly.

Prayer request: The concerns right now are that he is still on oxygen and that he hasn’t passed gas (seriously). Specifically that is two areas you can pray for. This marks a first for me…I’ve never asked anyone to pray for gas. : )

Prayer request: this week I’ve had a pestering tooth ache and went to a HNL (hole nother level) today. My beautiful wife called our dentist and got some meds prescribed to me. If you can, pray for my tooth to be patient until I can get home.

And finally, the last Prayer request/Praise report. One of the things the doctors speculated was that this surgery could possibly fix my dad’s blood pressure issues he’s had for 15 years now. Praise Report: so far the last 36 hours my dad’s blood pressure has been perfect with no meds, Prayer Request: that this continues.
