Mike is not doing great these days. His bilirubin is 32 which is down from 36 last week but still extremely high. ( A normal person's bilirubin is under 2) This is the bile backing up in his body causing him to be yellow. His appetite is non existent. He lost 6 lbs in a week and due to blood work which indicates he's not drinking enough, they canceled chemo yesterday. They did administer fluids but not the chemo drug. He has been doing better since our visit yesterday. Please specifically pray that:
He eats and drinks more.
His bilirubin level drops.
His lab work shows improvement Monday.
His strength improves.
He is very weak. This is all part of the treatment but it's hard seeing him so sick. We truly appreciate all your prayers. I say that a lot but I really mean it. God bless you.

ReplyDeleteI am a manager at USAA and have the had the great pleasure and privilege of working with Mike since 2006. Mike is one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met and my wife Andrea and I are praying for positive outcomes as Mike battles this. I will continue to follow this blog and would love to call Mike if he can accept calls. Please, if you would, email me at dot13com@gmail.com whenever you may have an opportunity. May God Bless you both.
