Bowel Strike Continues
No new news from Rochester this evening. Bowels are still on strike. Kidney function is improving after a little hiatus (Creatinine 2.5 for those interested, down from 2.8). The gallbladder looks like it may have some sludge, unsure if that might be the problem. (I knew all those useless organs should have been removed ie, gallbladder, appendix, tonsils). His spirits are still pretty low right now, I'm certain he hasn't realized how fortunate he is yet, especially when he looks around and all he sees is lines (down to 6 now) and bags. More reinforcements from Michigan will be headed in tomorrow on my side to help with morale and child-rearing. Today was "tour Toys r us" day. If someone could keep the driveway plowed of snow that would be nice! No snow here. Just 70's and flooding to the south. Anyone coming the southern route needs to think twice. Many major roads closed down around Chicago. Last group that left here ended up in Kentucky before they could get back to southern Michigan!
Hopefully I will get some new photos on the blog soon. This whole computer stuff is new to me as my friends and co=workers will attest.
We hope to blow this "Popsicle stand" by the weekend, but time will only tell.
I am still amazed the new people that this blog is finding its way to. Michael will have a chapter book to read soon.

Hello..."morning exercise" time!! Michael, I can guarantee James would rather be out there being your personal trainer than back here in Michigan!! I'm surprised you didn't have to kick him out! All of us would be there in body if possible, but know that we are there in spirit.
Hang in there and stay strong, Michael. We are here for you and praying for your recovery to be smooth and speedy!
Dawn and kids, wish we could be there to fill up some of your time. Jarrett asks daily how Uncle Michael is doing. JD reads the blog and they are both waiting for updated photos of the kids. Dawn, I understand your pain when it comes to computers!!!
We'll talk soon...take care
Karri, James, JD & Jarrett
Michael!
Keep your hopes up.... you'll be up and around soon... and leaving this adventure behind you and starting a new one..
Keep Smilin'

I want you to know that everyone in the BFPS is praying for you and keeping you in our thoughts as you begin the joiurney to recovery. We see you as a strong, adventurous, and very positive family and know these traits will serve you considerably as the recovery and healing process takes place.

Thanks for the continued updates Dawn.

Hey There Doc & Family!
Just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about and praying for you and your family. It seems like things are going pretty well for Michael, and your blog is such a great idea! I hope to see you soon and give you a big hug! Your kids are adorable, too.

Michael this is one of those very rare times when we will rejoice when you fart. Then we know those bowels are working.
KEeping you in consstant thought and prayer. Renee'
Hi Ruger.
Hope your dad is feeling better. I really miss you. There is a lego land at the Mall of America in Minnesota. Maybe you can go there. It's cool. I hope I see you soon. Maybe we can play legos or go fishing. I caught 13 fish yesterday. I caught bass and big sunfish. Today it is rainy and cold. I went to the movies with Laurel and her brother. I am making your dad a picture to help him get better when he comes home. caeden collins
Hi Dawn, Michael and kids. We are always thinking of you. I am always asking Ted for an update, so I am glad there is this blog so I can read your updates firsthand. I agree with you about those useless organs. Hopefully the gallbladder won't create further issues for Michael. I wish very active bowel sounds for Michael soon. I asked my Mom to say prayers for Michael, I swear she has a direct line. I guess I have babbled long enough. Take care of yourselves and hang in there. Teddy says hi to all his friends. P.S. Ted asked that you ask James about his unfortunate incident after leaving our house. Give Michael our best. Ted, MaryAnn, Teddy and Noah
Hi, Michael:
I have been thinking of you and your family often and am hoping for a quick recovery for you! It sure seems like you have a strong team (Dawn, kids and lots of family and friends) on your side! Everyone here at home can't wait to see you out and about soon!
Susan Soffredine

Michael and Dawn you continue to be in our thoughts. We hope and pray you get the pain under control. Read some books to keep your mind strong and positive. The Road Less Traveled is a great on. Keep strong mentally. Fight hard. We love you both.
