Update

Just a quick update b/c I realized I hadn't updated in a little while. Mike is not doing well. Last night he complained he couldn't breathe all night and he wanted to go home even though we were home. Then he wanted to go to bed and we were in bed. They are increasing his painkillers to keep him comfortable. The nurse is coming again today. I have been told several different timelines but the most accurate one is once the fungus hits the artery in his sinuses it's a direct line to his brain and it won't be long after that happens. With his confusion and disorientation I expect the fungus has started towards his brain. He is having trouble breathing and is only breathing from half of one lung still. His blood pressure two days ago was 88 over 44 and then yesterday it was 140 over 90 so it's up and down.


He cannot talk much because his throat muscles are weakening which they said to expect and he's not eating or drinking much. If the nurse has any updated information this afternoon I will send another email otherwise news at 11...

His mother, father and sister came to visit and my mom, dad and older sister came out - my older sister leaves tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has called and emailed. The support means a lot. Thank you for all the meals, ice cream and coffee...much appreciated when I am sleep deprived and depressed.

Bri is hanging in there...she starts high school on Monday. We are doing life as it comes our way.

I know everyone wants to talk to him but he really can't talk much in person and the phone just depresses him. If you'd like to call me my cell is 719/502-0172 - if I'm able to answer I will talk to anyone who wants to talk.
