Cape Town

Answer to Prayer from Gail in Cape Town:
The doctor is releasing dad to go home tomorrow.  He will have an IV line hooked up into his arm for antibiotics and the nurse will visit him at home to start a drip each day.  She will also check his vitals.  My stepmom and others will be cleaning the house top to bottom before he gets home to get rid of dust and allergens so that nothing could make his coughing start again.  He is looking forward to being home for Christmas.  They know he will not be given chemo or radiation and he will not have surgery to remove the tumors so it is all about making him comfortable and healing what they can, the infection.
Please continue to pray for Gail, her dad, and the entire family, especially during this Christmas season.

CMET Worker's Father

I (Gail) spoke with my father tonight.  He sounded more positive about this waiting game.  He said he has been able to get a lot of fluid off his heart with the water pills and that has helped some.  He still would like prayers because the catheter is only scheduled for next Friday and 1) it is still a week away and 2) he wants prayer for his doctor while he does it and for his body as it is going through it.
Thank you so much for your prayers at this time.  My family, his siblings, seem to be the most concerned.  Please keep them in your prayers, as well.
