Mike's Health update

The CT scan on the abdomen never did happen today. At about 4:oopm, Mike started having a headache. The doctor ordered another CT scan on his head to check it out. We haven't heard anything on the scan, but Mike has started feeling a little better. We'll still anxious to hear the results though, obviously. At this point, it's possible that they would proceed with the CT scan of the abdomen and the Transesophageal echocardiagram.

The physical therapist didn't make it up to the room today, so she should be here tomorrow. Thursday will be a full day-hopefully it will give us some answers.

Mike seems a little better today. His speech is mildly slurred and most of the time you can understand what he's saying. He still cannot use his right hand or leg. He can stand up and walk to the bathroom with assistance, but it proves to be a challenge. A high number of visitors today seems to have lifted his spirit. I don't want to have false hope with what seems to be a decent day, so being unsure is still very unsettling. However, we have faith that the Lord will sustain him and all of us during this time. Thanks again for praying and visiting with us. I'll post every udpate as soon as possible.

Brandon,
Lot of people praying.
Psalm 71:20 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again. From the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
Mike is blessed to have the family he does. Jamie White
