Dear friends and family,

We met with the Pulmonologist yesterday. Mike hasn’t felt well.  Breathing is a struggle with any exertion.  They want to do something now to open up this airway if possible.  So they are going to perform a bronchoscopy today to see if it will be possible to insert a stent (like a slinky) or use another method to see what they can do.  This will happen at 1:00 ET today.  They called at 8:00 pm to schedule the Bronchoscopy so they are moving fast. 

We also received a call that his oncologist is out.  He had an emergency surgery on his eye.  So, we’re not sure when we will talk to him.  We think he had a retina detachment because they mentioned that he has to lie face down for a few days.  

 

We really like the hotel.  It has a patio on the first floor that’s larger than our hotel room.  I was amazed when we entered.  It’s PERFECT for Joey and us to enjoy the outdoors.  The room is outdated.  But I don’t care.  We have sunlight.  The bed was comfortable and we both slept well.  It has just what we need for our stay and they will allow us to stay here until December 7th.  Being on the first floor allows Mike easy access in and out of the building.  The front desk is just outside our door.  And there are 2 doors to enter the room which prevents Joey from escaping and keeps the room quiet.  Joey is part of our squad. 🤣 We love having him with us.  We always joke when we return from the hospital that our squad is back together again.  So, I thank God for having the perfect place only 3 blocks away from the main hospital for us. 

Will you please pray for:

Thank you for your prayers and support. 😘 

In His arms,

The O’Neill Family
