Poppie Back in the Hospital

Early this morning, Mike took Poppie to the ER with chest pains. After a long day of tests and eventually a heart catheterization, Poppie is resting in the hospital this evening. The doctors found a blood clot in his heart and have put him on a blood thinner. They also found a bacteria in his stomach that can cause chest pains. They have prescribed an antibiotic for this. I stopped by the hospital tonight after work and visited with Poppie a few minutes, and had dinner with Mike and Becky. Poppie looks good, but it is hard seeing him in a hospital bed. He has not only become a grandfather to me, he is also my good friend. So please pray that the clot would be dissolved and the antibiotic would quickly knock out the bacterial infection. We hope he will come home tomorrow.

Leslie had a good day today and goes in tomorrow morning for her fourth liquid chemotherapy treatment. We both dread each treatment, but are thankful that each one has been a little less traumatic. Pray for her strength and recovery this week, and also that we'll be able to juggle all our responsibilities in the midst of this.

We are also still trying to sell our van. I got a call today from a guy who has a friend who is interested. Please pray the van will sell soon.
