Blades

just a quick post to update those that are wondering what is going on.
blades had surg done in mexico on the 1st of dec. this last wed he started feeling dizzy.. thursday he was really lightheaded and passed out in the bathroom. we ended up calling the ambulance and he is in the hospital. more details to come. he had lost half of his blood. they are trying to figure out where it is coming from. the scope couldnt see it. so they are assuming it is from the old part of the stomach that cannot be seen by a scope. we are in the ICU but stable. no breathing tubes or anything. we were playing cards and the nurses , blades and his buddies were betting on what the next blood pressure numbers would be. His spirits are high and we are just taking it day by day. as long as his blood levels keep going up they wont have to do surg.. if he continues to loose blood they will have to figure out what is going on.
our kids are being taken care of by great friends and a great ward. thanks to all.. keep those prayers coming our way. I am so blessed! I had two friends over here tonight scrubbing my toilets and cleaning my ceiling fan.. ( blades' mom is coming in town) i figured id better clean up a bit.. although it was almost already clean. i have to get to bed. but just wanted to thank all of those that have called, prayed, cleaned.. or whatever! you all are the best
we are at mountain vista hospital in mesa

Oh goodness! Thanks for the update. Hopefully they can quickly diagnose the problem, so he won't be in the hospital long. We hope you feel better soon, Blades. Your family is in our prayers.
