Hello Loved Ones!!

I know, I know I haven't sent you a Randy update in awhile but wanted to get the correct info before I did. Here is what I know straight from Dr. King's mouth who spoke w/Dr. Cresbow yesterday. Randy is in Select Speciality Hospital in OKC for a few more days. He is having some difficulties in remembering the correct year and seems to be co-herent most of the time but seems to stray out to left field every once in a while. He has to be restrained when alone b/c he continually pulls his iv's & feeding tube out & since he is on blood thinner this is so very dangerous. He wants to come home. They are still trying to dissolve the blood clots in his lung (thus the blood thinner problem) and cure his pnuemonia. Now for the bad part, according to Dr. Cresbow Randy has developed a very rare form of liver cancer that affects the bile cells in his liver, he now has 2 different kinds of liver cancer. This new cancer is very very rare & Dr. K is not for sure if there is a treatment for it. He has been completely removed from the transplant list. Dr. K is working w/the OKC docs on getting him released & possibly sent to the SNF unit @ Duncan Regional, skilled nursing facility. And the answer is no they haven't given us a time period at this time. So we don't give up, we pray that a new treatment is available. Aunt Martha is doing ok, handling herself w/grace and lots and lots of faith.
