Jacob sailed through the surgery. His hematacrit is rising on its own (went from 17 to 27 in a matter of hours), his LDL, which indicates how fast the red blood cells are being chomped by his body is going down. These are both really good things. And they just started the dialysis, which takes anywhere from 6 to 16 hours. He is doing better, this is the best news we've had on him in a week.

My sister-in-law is doing really well also. Her doctor will release her to go home on Saturday. Her lungs were full of blood clots, but she responded immediately to the medication. Her doctor says this medication just eats through those blood clots like Pacman. I called and talked to her this afternoon, and she did sound good.

Thanks for your prayers. I know prayer works and so does faith in God.

Her lungs were full of blood clots,

That killed my maternal grandmother back in October of 66. I was a sad little boy that day. I am so glad that they have drugs to counteract that now. Praise God for her recovery.
