Hello, thank you for all the prayers. Dad was released on Saturday afternoon. Sioux Falls,  Avera did a great job getting the right antibiotics and steroids started. He just saw his family doctor in Mitchell for a recheck. His left lung still has some diminished sounds, so I asked if he would benefit for a few more days of antibiotics since they only sent him home with a couple of days. He agreed to give him 5 more days, hopefully that will be enough to get him back to normal. Overall,  he is much improved. Yay!! Doctor said next time he will be more aggressive in treating him next time he comes in ill. He has not really had to treat dad for pneumonia before, I hate to say I told you so...doctor. (Kerri knows best) 😜 Follow your gut when you see your physicians, if you feel there is something wrong then push until you get the treatment or answers. I should of pushed more to have an x-ray done last week. He was not planning on doing blood work or x-ray.  ugh 
Dad will see his cancer doctor on May 13th. 

Mom update- Her results of her upper endoscopy scope came back pretty good. She has some redness and inflammation in her stomach, she will be on a stronger acid reflex medication for 8 weeks. Her biopsy results came back normal. Praise the Lord!! She will see the doctor for a follow up on May 30th. 

She will be having her silicone shim placed next Thursday April 25th in Sioux Falls. We are hopeful this will help her be able to talk louder and not have to use such force to speak. It has been a struggle the last 8 months for her. Please keep that procedure in your prayers please. 

Thanks again for all the love, prayers and support with these two. 

Love,
Jim & Family
