As if we should be surprised....
Gary is home! He got home around 2:00 this afternoon and was tired, sore, but happy to be in a MUCH more comfortable place. He has improved significantly, and only God is to be praised for that!
That does NOT mean he is altogether well; but he improved enough to try it at home with Hope there. She has taken a leave of absence at school to take care of Gary for a while.
Gary had to be on 15 liters of oxygen on Monday morning when he arrived at the ER. His heart rate on Monday morning was 158, his respirations per minute were as high as 50, and his saturation level was 71%. Today he went home on 3 liters of oxygen, a heart rate of 105, respirations at 22, and a saturation of 97%. So he is significantly better-we assume the clot in his lung broke up. But he is still very slow moving, and the doctor said to not do much more than walk to the bathroom and bedroom for the next week or so. Only God can take a man who was essentially suffocating to this level in less than 48 hours!
Gary is going to try radiation again on Monday. His spine and shoulder are VERY sore, and the only pain killer is radiation. So he really wants to get back to that. So pray he can so this cancer won't grow any more and cause him even more pain. We are not sure of the chemo at this point; we can let you know that later.
We are grateful God has taken away some of Gary's pain. We pray that God takes away this cancer so that Gary can continue with his "10 year plan". We know God can do anything, and we claim that.
May God forever be praised for all He does for His children.
