Martha is there now. Dad is very alert today. He still says he is tired that he doesn't feel good. He has been complaining of shoulder pain, so they x-rayed it today, but we don't know what the results are. It's mostly because the weight of his arms kind of pull everything out of the socket, so I am sure thats what it is. They need to tape his arms to his shoulders.
They have 2 units of blood waiting to give to him because his blood counts are still low. Im still not sure if they gave him that first unit yesterday.
The rep from Oelwein came to see him yesterday. Martha was told that if they send a rep to go see a patient, that usually means they are accepted, especially traveling that far. So, let's HOPE and PRAY that dad stays healthy enough to get the process rolling and we can get him in there, closer to home. I am really excited about this place!!!

Liza - We will pray for this today. It would be great to get Jim back into the state of Iowa. I am thankful he is doing better. We continue to pray for his recovery. Keep the updates coming. They are great for us.
