Update from Mom

We came home for Michelle's, Rhys' and my sister's birthdays and Thanksgiving, so we have been in town for about two weeks.

During this time we had someone replace all the windows in the house in Tosa. They look beautiful. Now they need to be stained and varnished but that can wait. The ones for the tenant are vinyl so only ours need the work. That is for another day.

Things have been going down in the last several days. Phil started to have more pain and so he was taking a lot of the vicodin and then he started having bad stomach cramps and took more vicodin. That began the constipation that sent us to the doctor and then he got on some morphine and then we started giving him laxatives and enemas. He finally started pooping and now has very bad diarrhea and is eating next to nothing. We are making some other changes in his medications to see what we can do but this episode of problems has taken a lot out of him and we do not know our next plans.

He is getting another CAT scan done on Tue and then is scheduled to see the doctor the following week. Maybe we will get some more information but right now things are not good. Here's hoping tomorrow is better. Keep us in your prayers. Judy
