An Update from Mary Beth

Hi.

It is Saturday evening and we are still at the hospital. On Friday, Bruce skipped his 7am treatment, had his 3pm treatment and skipped his 11pm. He had a total of 12 out of 14-which is great. He had a rough night and difficult morning. His oxygen level was low and really dropped with minimal activity. They are keeping him overnight to monitor his vitals and make sure he is strong enough to come home. I am relieved he is staying for medical reasons -he is bummed to have to stay one more night away from home. My mom and dad are making their way home to Seattle this evening, will swing by the hospital to deliver Bruce's favorite pillows, much needed hugs and conversation and will then stay the night in Portland. We hope to be discharged Sun morning and look forward to getting home!

Again, thanks for all your blog comments, emails, prayers and support. We would not be able to do any of this without the love and encouragement from our family and friends!

Love,
Nurse MBA
BE STILL MY SOUL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!!

Sorry to hear your return home has been delayed. That's got to be disappointing. We'll pray for a good night tonight.
You're constantly on our minds.

You're constantly in our family's thoughts and prayers, too. We are praying for a supernatural renewal of strength to Bruce's body as he recovers from home and prepares for the next round. Blessings to all of you! C Crew

We pray for all of you daily,MB. Keep up your strength, hon. Bruce, hope you are at home, sleeping in your own comfortable bed. I am sure it is comforting to see the kids and just be surrounded by love. suz and family
