Check up 2

Hey everyone,

 We just returned from a 3 day check up time in Spokane, all of us staying at Gwen's house.  Its nice to have Dad with us at the house this time.  He still has be be on the IV antibiotics for another 3 weeks at least. The abscesses in his brain have gotten much smaller but are still not gone, so infectious disease still wants him to be on the antibiotics til they are gone.  There are a few new bumps on his feet that look funny, we got the blood cultures done for that yesterday in Lewiston so we'll know if theres any new bug in his system.  Dad continues to get stronger, hes been going the physical therapy and doing day to day things on his own, getting back to his old self.  He made our family huckleberry pancakes this morning, he wanted to though, we didnt force him. haha.  So thats the latest, Ill keep you posted, keep on praying and praise God!  Love you all, Aloha

Good Checkup News

Hey Everyone, Dad went to the docs( neurologist and cardiologist) on Monday they both said everything looks great. And were still in awe of how he survived.  The cardiologist said "You beat some odds Mr. Holzer, you are a tough guy."  That shows the power of God and prayer right there.  Dad continues to get stronger every day, he gets up and wants to make his own breakfast, well he helps make it.  He's able to walk around pretty much independently, not down stairs of course and we are always around.  But he's getting his every day skills back more and more, he is even getting some drawing back.  Praise God! Ill keep you posted on more later. Updates will probably be weekly now.  Love you all, keep on praying, Aloha!

First week at home

Hey everyone,  

This week was great, having dad home again.  He has been getting stronger each day.  He had a few weaker days, but he is still learning to pace himself and get back into regular life.   Thank you so much for all the food and the prayers.  Its been kind of hard for me and mom to adjust into being full time nurses.  We are in charge of running his IV, changing the bag every 24 hours.  We are getting the hang of it now though.  He has an appointment on Monday with the cardiologists and surgeons.  So they will be staying with Gwen Sunday night and then coming back on Monday after the appointment.  Ill keep you posted on what we find out.  Love you all, Aloha,

Still at home

Hey everyone, we are still home, and while mom finishes up school Ive been staying at home with dad. Everyday we have to change out is IV bag, which has been a challenge a couple times.  But now we are doing better.  Dad is feeling so much better now that he is home, he still has to get up every 2 hours to use the bathroom, so that means mom and I try to get up also to make sure he doesn't fall.  A few times we have slept through our alarms though. Thank you to everyone who has been bringing by food, that is such a blessing!  God has blessed us with so much.  Love you all, Ill keep you posted on further recovery.  Aloha,
