Hi Everybody,
Blackie & I just got back from his latest docs appt. His MRI is CLEAR,
practically. Doc is
surprised he has healed so quickly. I think its because of your prayers,
his positive attitude
and good doctors, too.
His doctor says he's healed 94% but wants him to stay another 2 weeks so
he's at 97% better,
so the odds of a relapse is only 3 out of 100 instead of 7 out of 100. He
feels fabulous but
I know he was disappointed he didn't get released to day.
As a consolation prize, we went for lunch of hamburger, fries & a
strawberry malt milkshake.
I had a taco salad & chocolate malt - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
He can take a couple of hours a day out of the facility, but he said no he
wouldn't. If he can't
get out to STAY, he'll stay put for the rest of the 2 week stay.
Thanks again all of you for the cards & calls, it makes all the difference
for him.

Thank you for the update!
Prayers lifted that blackie gets beyond that 97% healing and gets to go home in two weeks!
Just got off the phone with blackie, he wants me to pass on his love to all FReepers. He says "Thank you all very much for your prayers".
He said the doctors are amazed that he has recovered so quickly, and he is sure it is because of our prayers for him!!
God Bless everyone who is holding blackie in their thoughts and prayers.

Burger fries and milkshake, that's some 'consolation' prize.
I rarely get to grab one myself.
