Prayers Needed

As most if not all of you know that Wally (Marie) has Mylodisplastic Syndrome evolving into Mylogenisus. He has had four rounds of chemo so far and his white count is still in the basement. On thursday he started vomiting and by Sat he was running a temp of 102. We took him to the ER and he was admitted to PCU which a one step down from ICU. He received two units of blood on Sunday morning and has IV fluid and antibiotics given via his port. PCU could not get his temp down so on Monday he was transfered to the ICU. He received two more units of blood and was put on a cooling blanket. His temp spiked to 104.8. He is now getting three different kinds of antibiotics, neupogen shots every 12 hours (these will help build up his white count). His temp actually got down to 98.8 so they took him off the cooling blanket. He made it off for four hours and his temp spiked again. So at this time he is back on the cooling blanket. Tonight he was complaining of chest pain and had to be given morphine for it. As if this wasn't enough to deal with, Bert and Sandra's daughter (our granddaughter) and her boyfriend went out on a paddle boat Monday night. A storm came up and the boat over turned. Our granddaughter made it to the opposite shore safely but her boyfriend could not swim and he has not been found yet. Our granddaughter tried to get to him but the waves prevented it. She was holding on to the paddle boat. Needless to say, there have been a lot of tears between the two events. We are still praying that he will be found alive, but doubt it very much. It was very cold last night and today, but then God does work miracles. We can sure use all the prayers that you can send our way. I will try to keep everyone updated. But I am not on the computer as much as I used to be. Love to all. Judy Messenger (Wally, Marie)
