Road Block

Well we were set to leave today, but early yesterday Dad woke up with bladder pain. The pain grew to about a 5 out of 10, to the point where he needed pain meds.  Today he says the pain when he pees is about a 7.  All this time he is also having to discipline himself to get up every 2 hours to pee so that he doesn't get plugged up and have to put the catheter back in.  Right now they think the problem is a bladder infection which they have cultured already and are treating with antibiotics.  This morning he woke up with floating clouds in his left eye.  So he has an eye appointment today at 3:30 and will be staying here a few extra days. If these things start to resolve by tomorrow he might be able to leave then, but we'll see.  Please pray that these things get better and don't cause anymore problems, and for dad to stay encouraged, because right now after looking forward to getting out of here, he is disappointed and having this pain right now.  I'll keep you guys posted.  Keep on praying. Aloha,
Katelyn

    Hey, Bob!
    We know this has got to be a bummer and we were looking forward to you coming home, too. We know there has got to a good reason for you to still be there. We know and pray they will find out what you need to be ready to come home. We know it is hard but it will be for the best when you are able to come home. Keep up the good work. You have come so far and your new re-done room is waiting for you to come home. Along with all of us, we look forward to seeing you soon.
    Keep getting better and we are always praying for you and know God is doing a healing in you for you to come home.
    Love, Deb and Dick
