Today so far is a good day. There is a very slight improvement in his liver again and also his kidneys have been working much better. Dad is quite jaundice and says his chest hurts quite a bit but his breathing is better and his pain a bit less. He has had more fluid removed from his stomach and this helps him feel more comfortable. He is quite disorientated at times and often tells stories that don't make sense. As he puts it the more times he pushes the morphine button the more he goes into a different world.
Mom is doing well, she feels more at ease leaving the room knowing someone else is with Dad. We gave Dad a manicure this morning which he loved, he's always loves people playing with his nails.
The doctor was just in and says he is not out of the woods yet but the trees have gotten a little thinner. We are so thankful for any improvement and thank the Lord that his pain has gone down somewhat.
Thank you so much for your prayers!

So happy to hear there has been some improvement. We pray this may continue. Remembering you all in prayer.
Prayer is a powerful thing! We continue to pray for further improvement and realize that Ed is in the hands of His heavenly Father. May you all be given strength in these difficult days and put your hope and trust in God.
In christian love, Norman and Diane Vanderhorst
Praying for continued improvement for Ed, and for all of the family as you deal with this illness.
May God sustain all of you during this time.

Ed, you just keep that sense of humour going, we pray that this discomfort will be eased and your family can be strong and feel God's love for us all. Louise & I hold you all in our prayers, and we'll keep on praying. I think half of BC is praying for you.
May God bless you all,
Louise & Doug
Its very uplifting for all of us reading the blog to know of any improvements, so it must be even more so for you as family to see tiny baby steps forward in Ed's condition. We continue to think of you Ed and Flo and family and keep you in our prayers.
