Joe had a very good day, but followed with a rough night.
Joe's not sleeping through the night very well, and at 3 am he got a bloody nose. Being on the Lovenox for the blood clot, it's hard to stop him from bleeding once it begins, so we battled it on and off until 7 am this morning when Harriett came in and took over. I just talked to her and she said that she has it under control. Just one more thing to add to our list of worries. The visiting nurse will be coming today to change his PICC line bandage and said she'll assess him from there. Let's all hope that this is just due to the oxygen irritating his nose and nothing worse.
The day yesterday was good though, he sat outside for awhile in the bright sunshine. Today is suppose to be just as nice, and his sister Nanette is coming to spend the day with him.
Last night we received a 'good bye' call from our nephew and godchild Bob Siegel who is leaving for Iraq today. Please keep Bob in your prayers for his safe return.

With love and hope,

Hi,
I started following your blog, because I've heavily invested in the company that is testing Trovax and I've been following ever since.
The mind and the body are very strong weapons against any ailment.
And I am praying for you from the United Kingdom that you Joe, find the renewed strength to fight.
Think only positively.
Faith abounds from the far reaches of the earth, Joe! You must close your eyes and feel God's healing hands, visualize his radiating and warm touch renewing each cell in your body, one by one...one by one...it is time to claim your miracle, George Bailey! You can not give up now, Spencerport needs you...the soccer parents need you, the Caldwell crew need you, the Dixieland Band needs you and your FAMILY needs you!
We are all claiming your miracle with you, Joe. In Jesus' holy and precious name, Amen! "By HIS stripes, we are healed."
I implore everyone out there, like me, who reads this blog daily from afar, to please speak up now and send JOE and his family all the positive thoughts, prayers and energy that you can! They need US now more than ever!
This family and this fight is an inspiration for all of us! I know I have been hugging my kids a little tighter these days and I can't recall a more beautiful fall in all my life. And when I think I'm having a bad day, I think about Joe and his loved ones and my problems pale in comparison.
Vicki has done a great job in keeping us informed, and I personally want to say thank you. Thank you for never giving up and continually giving us hope! Also, I especially enjoyed Paul's entry about the family and the motorcycle story about Joe's perseverence! I would love to hear more stories like that, wouldn't you?
"But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31
