Friday update

Dads prayer request to all at this time is that this doesn't drag out. "I am ready are his words". Tuesday was an especially painful day for Dad as his whole left side was in pain and the right hand bothered him as wel. The body begins to ache all over when you have been in bed for 4 months now. Lori and I have the great opportunity to have our last talks with Dad. Even thought their should still be a few in the future. Friday the family will meet with minister at 5pm for a get to know eachother session. We will also review the funeral arrangements. We are still asking that only immediate family members visit. However, if you would like to get in a last visit please call Mom to set up an appointment. We are trying to limit it to 2 visitors a day. This has allowed for extra rest that Dad so badly needs. Please prayer for the grandchildren in these coming days as they just don't see their PAPA as they use to remember him. This has been an exceptionally tough 4 months for Jarod, a child who is so smart and fully aware of all that is going on. He has been acting out a little which is totally not JB. Thanks again to all for your OUTREACH. What an awesome group of people you all are! Dad comments yesterday were: "Boy what a great group of friends we acquired in the past 5-10 years. Another statement was said to Dad as well the other day: " Boy I wished I could have met met Mel more than just a year ago as you are such as great man. One man reaching out and expressing his love to another:)I have to go as I am crying on the keyboard.

God Bless and God is good!
