Hi all:
First, want to thank all of my csn buds for your prayers for my nephew Brian. Second, please continue to pray for him. He was taken from the nursing home/rehab and admitted to the hospital yesterday to determine his weight loss. It wasn't an emergency moving; just that they don't have the capabilities and equipment to do the testing they need to do. A gastro doc has been called in. This was happening before his accident. Since his accident on Sept. 3 he has lost from 112 lbs. to 96 lbs.! The last 3 or 4 days he's been sleeping a lot and taking a while to wake up; however when he's awake he is alert. Hope everyone is doing okay out there and thanks for your prayers. Hopefully, I will be able to report some news next week and that is weight loss will become weight gain! Thanks again. Y'all are the best! God Bless!
