Many of you have asked for regular updates... and sometimes it helps me to just "say some things". Mike has not been able to turn a corner and put on any weight yet which has been hard. And if you asked me, it seems like he is continuing to shed pounds.
Let me give you a picture of why this is happening by telling you about his day yesterday: He got up at 4am to do chores and participate in a study at work (ie very physical labor.) After meeting Mollie for breakfast at Memories Cafe he spent the entire afternoon chopping firewood with Scotty Gatewood. Then he did afternoon chores at work (it is his chore weekend) and got home at 8:30pm. Since he still has pain in swallowing, his 1500 calorie diet cannot keep up with the 8000 calories he expended! The good part is that he feels good enough to do all of this.
After waking up in the night to worry about it, I decided that my best plan of action is to PRAY his weight back on... while making sure there is lots of good & healthy food in front of him to eat. I would love to have you PRAY for his rebuilding and strengthening with me.
There. I feel better.
