Dr. Pillarisetty was in tonight to see mom and dad. He informed us that nothing new was seen on the xray and that they did not need to perform the procedure they had discussed this morning.
Her stomach is still asleep and causing food to sit and not get digested normally. This is causing the nausea and then the air in her stomach causes dry heaves.
He said the ultrasound revealed that the small growth in the tumor located in the right kidney had grown from it's previous measurement and they had discussed doing the procedure next week to inject the tumor.
This tells me they will most likely be here at least into mid week.
Mom kept a small amount of noodles down tonight and then went for a long walk with me around 6th floor. She had a lot of nausea but no vomiting as of yet. Woo Hoo!
Dr Pillarisetty STRONGLY encouraged dad to go home for at least one night and sleep in his own bed. He suggested he get outside and walk downtown. He said "Man, what do I have to do, buy you a bus ticket to get you out of here?" Dad laughed. I wanted him to hand over $5.00 for that ticket!
He suggested dad go home and pick some vegetables from the garden and bring them back for mom to try. He asked dad if he could remember what stewardess's tell you on a plane. "Put your own oxygen mask on first so that you can assist the person who needs help putting their mask on". In other words, take care of yourself so you are better able to care for mom long term. He pointed out the fact that he had help from the family and suggested that dad really consider it. I believe he will and if mom is doing well by Monday, he may go for at least one night.
Ok, specific prayer requests for the weekend:
1) Pray that her stomach wakes up and starts to work. ( This is monumental to the vomiting ceasing)
2) Pray that she keeps food down.
3) Pray that she is pain free.
4) Pray that Dad gets rest.
We love and appreciate you all.
Kimberly and family
P.S. For those of you asking, you could send cards to their house. We are getting their mail for them and bringing it up.

Hello Duckie, Loved hearing that you had a decent night. Hubby may be doing what he needs to do. N I have never seen such a devotion.
Is your address at home 127 Brian Dr.? I think that is correct.
Jim took me to doc yesterday and I am just fine. No more worries about me.....promise?
Jo asks about you most every day.
She is not going to teach till the middle of Sept. Until then, whoever can get there to paint is welcome. It will take awhile til we can get there but get there, we will...right?
I miss your beautiful smile. I miss your harty belly laugh and most of all, I miss you. So, "one" of the fabulous four...Keep Up the Good Fight.....You are needed. Please tell Kimberly & Carmen that the prayer request is covered. Remember what you told me....."Keep your eye on the cross".
Remember that last picture I was working on with the woman taking her own sick body to the cross, it was very meaningful to me and I did not know why, look how things turned out. It is you and it is me too. WOW!!!!
Heart to heart, jeanzie
Dear Sister Deva togather with your
family:You are continually in our
thoughts and prayers.The fact that
the doctors are contemplating on
doing something with the kidney tells me that they have a lot of
hope that the stomach will wake up
and function or they wouldn't
consider doing something for the kidney if they felt that the stomach wouldn't eventually function.Some amazing things go on
in our bodies that we never dream
about not workng since they are so
automatic. We fight not against
flesh and blood but against powers
and principalities in high places.
There is a spiritual battle being
waged and angels are fighting demons for our bodies. The soul
they cannot touch. What would it
profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Or what
could a man give in exchange for
his soul? In times like these
material things, riches, fame and
fortune have no place. Its a life,
a precious life that hangs in the
balance. A life that has shown such
love for family and friends. Warren, you have my respect and
I treasure the love you have for Deva. We cannot know while here
below why bad things happen to good people. Today we see as through a glass, darkly but someday we will see Him face to face and then we will understand
We wait Lord for that sign from heaven- Please send it Lord. Dino
