Tnak you all so much from my heart for your prayers -— they're working miracles, in my way of thinking!

This afternoon the surgeon and the anesthesiologist who are going to do tomorrow morning's small surgery and biopsy on DrO’s scalp and forehead to remove the scabs and all from what we think are infected psoriasis of some sort, instead of “cirrhosis of the liver,” his is more likely a shut down right now caused by “congested heart failure,” that isn't allowing his liver to function properly, given that his BNP is 1650, (I made a written note of those numbers and initials).

NOT that this is good news, but the “cirrhosis of the liver,” had me extremely upset and DrO as well. I had to wipe tears from his eyes and that broke my heart. I mean the strongest thing he drinks Raspberry ice tea. I couldn't believe it and couldn't understand it either, because he has no signs of jaundice, his navy blue eyes are clear and the whites of his are as white/white as always. Of course, there's still a possibility of cirrhosis, but I guess those biopsies will tell for sure. He's had a battery of tests including a bone scan that came as quite a shock and that was by accident...lol...a misunderstanding in language by a foreign doctor. DrO doesn't have any broken bones.

I should have bought a laptop a long time ago. I'm at the hospital from 6:00AM - 9:00PM. I have to be there. He needs an advocate. Just today, when I went out to the car to call penelopsire, and then to the cafeteria, he was still on the bedpan when I returned. "I" had to get him off of it ... 45 minutes later. No nurse or attendant to be found. Unreal.

Again, thank you so much for your prayers! He believes in the power of prayer with all his being and he totally trusts in God. This good and decent man means the world to me and today was his birthday so I brought him a very small cake and because of y'all's prayers, today he actually had an appetite and ate more than half all three meals!!! Praise God!

XOXOXO

God bless and keep you all.

I'm going to bed right after I BUMP our FReepathon thread.

P.S. The very first chance I get, I will thank each one of you for your prayers. I am humbled and more appreciative than y'all will ever begin to know.

So glad I came here to see if there was any news! You are absolutely correct in being an advocate for him.

Praying that his surgery goes well tomorrow. Stay strong for him and don’t forget to EAT!! Only time I can lose weight is when my husband is in the hospital.....which isn’t often at all, thank goodness!

Hey sweet sis.. just found this update and want to just give you some MEGA cyber hugs across the miles as you and your man are facing life’s most recent and considerable challenge. I know you are both trusting God with your future and with that in mind, all is well. I pray that you will both find peace in this journey. Much love, d

You sweet gentle lady, a true American Patriot to boot.
Thanks for the positive feedback we received from you.
Our loving God and Creator will take care of all your and DrO's needs.
In due time he shall be back home with fair health according to the Lord's wishes, sipping his Raspberry ice tea.
With clear eyes, looking upon his wife with gentle eyes, and praise in his heart all worked out ok in the end for you two.
You take care Onyx. I understand how much you would like to pass on info to us all, but don't allow that to over burden you for the time being. We will understand.

You have to stay healthy and strong for your hubby and family first. You know what I mean.

In that spirit do not feel obligated to respond in personal feedback.

I for one will look forward to in the short future when we read your praises to God and some details as how things totally turned around for the better and DrO is back home.
Healthy and willing to move ahead in life.

You take care gentle lady. George

May God immerse you and your husband in His Love and Healing.

Scary. You guys remain in my daily prayers.

Please do not try to thank us all individually for our prayers. That is waste of your resources and not what any of us want. Just take the strength from Him and keep on keeping on. Love, Y
