Mike is off the IV as of today, pending results of a blood test that should be available Monday. He is able to eat three small meals a day, which is an improvement. He is experiencing more pain in his abdomen now that his pain medication has been cut back. He is still very weak, but his doctors believe he is doing alright for being nearly three weeks post-surgery. His next post-op has been scheduled for one week from Friday.
Please continue to pray for him during this difficult recovery. The prayers definitely helped while he was in the hospital, and he needs them to carry through this next stage, which is both mentally and physically challenging. Thanks so much for your continued support!
P.S. His home computer went on the fritz following a lightning storm a few weeks back, so he hasn't been able to read or respond to any e-mails (neither has Karen for that matter). We share blog comments with him, but if you have e-mailed him or Karen and haven't received a reply, that's why.

Keep plugging Big Guy! You know we're thinking positive thoughts for you!
Mike, counting on you to get well soon so I don't get stuck with any of your accounts! It was great to see you at the airport (during the tornado evac) before your sugery. We'll meet downtown for lunch with the gang when your back (your turn to pick up the "ice tea" tab). Stay strong. Regards to all, DB
