Shunt today...

Mom just called and wanted me to write a quick update about Dad. They are headed down to the hospital to have his shunt put in today. He will have a shunt in his chest where they will do the chemo. So I guess you could say that it is officially started!
Dad will start his chemo on Tuesday.
Mom and Dad have expressed how they have seen the hand of the Lord throughout this process. When they met with the doctor this week, the doctor explained that he wants to keep Dad in the hospital the ENTIRE time, just to make sure nothing happens to his kidney. This was a huge relief for Mom, because she was worried about Dad getting sick at home.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Although they won't be able to see any of us during this process, they LOVE reading the comments on this blog. If you come here, please leave a quick comment for Dad to read. I think he might just go crazy not being able to tease any of us!
Thanks for your support and love that you give to Mom and Dad! They appreciate it more than you know:)

Thanks for the update Carrie!! ;D

I guess it has begun!! (((BIG HUGS))) for Sid & Jerry! Keep your hands & feet in the cart at all times and hang on! Faith, hope, prayers... ALL GOOD THINGS coming your way!!

So will Jerry still be isolated? Did I understand that right? I guess that makes sense so she can visit with him and not pass anything along to him. Do they have a place that Jerry can stay sometimes down there? ...When Matthew had his heart surgery at Primary Children's, we actually were able to bring our trailer down and park it at the hospital so we could be with him constantly. We found that to be quite a blessing as we didn't have to come all the way home each night and spent all our waking moments with him... ;)

Jerry, did Aimee & Carrie get you set on posting?? Need any tutorials by e-mail?? Let me know if you do. They seem to be quite the pros t it, so I figured they must have got you set up. ;D

Our prayers are with you all!!! (((HUGS)))
