This morning Dwight had a repeat endoscopy. They also took a biopsy of the ulcer. They are looking at the ulcer to determine whether it has changed and if there is any bleeding. We have not heard the report from the doctor yet, but he is doing well. He is very anxious to begin physical therapy since he can't manuver on his own. Please continue to pray for positive progress and good reports. He needs to be able to stand and walk.
The doctors will decide whether he will continue with medication or will need the ulcer removed surgically.
Dwight continues to joke with the nurses and doctors, so he may be released from the hospital earlier than normal.
One of the doctors who was just in here said that she was honored to be part of this medical team since his story has traveled around the hospital. She called it a MIRACLE as so many of the nurses and doctors have said. They said that they did all they could during that critical Saturday and then faith had to take over. What a miracle!!! Sue

This is Mark. The April Fool continues. I told Dwight that if he wanted someone to sit with him at nite or stay over nite in his room (there is a pull-out couch), I'd be happy to be there. His comment, "You wouldn't be my first choice!" :-)
