April 21, 2008 update


Dad has done a fabulous job of keeping his temperature low. After they switched the antibiotic to kill the bug in his ear and bacteria in his blood, his temperature dropped, dropped, dropped lower and lower until WHALAH! It is back to normal. There is talk of getting the staples out of his head today. We're kind of worried because if the sores aren't closed completely, his brains might leak out!!!!!!! We all know that he needs every brain cell that's in there. We're still waiting to hear of a finalized time for surgery. We'll keep updating. Thanks so much for all your love, concern, prayers, and support. We love you all.

When the miracle we have all been fasting and praying for happens, your Dad is going to laugh his pants off when he reads all of your blog posts!

Keep up the great work we love to find out what is going on each day.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Brains leaking out would not be good! :-)

You know your Dad has always had a "my way" streak and it seems to be showing now. But his way always worked out better than some of the other ways out there.

Hugs to you all!

So glad the fever broke! Now things can move forward for everyone.

Thank you again for the daily updates. We look forward each day seeing what progress Steve has made. I guess we just all have to be patient and let God handle things the way he sees best.

Love,
John and Nancy
