Yo-Yo Day                                
This is Lori.  Dave was on his phone and I-pad today so he was feeling the best yet until he became nauseous early afternoon.  He felt good again until 7pm when he threw up again.

He is not taking visitors for the duration of his stay.  They moved him to the second floor to monitor his heart rate and temperature.  They also took an X-Ray and CT scan and more blood work.

The test for the lymph nodes came back.  The cancer was so close to the lining of the wall, he may need Chemo.  We wait again.

What can you do?  Pray that he does not have an infection because that would mean going back to surgery and an even longer recovery.  His high temperature and raising pulse point us to infection.  He is in good hands tonight and I know Dr Nagamoto will check on him first thing in the morning.

We as a family are stressed so please understand when we refer you to the blog.  It is hard for me and the kids to talk about it without crying and sometimes we just need to focus on school and work etc.

What can you do? Pray because it works!  Prayer gives us great peace !  You don't have to e-mail me or text me or facebook me that you are praying because I know you are !  The Hodgert's have the BEST Friends and loving FAMILY in the whole wide WORLD !

God is good !
