A recent update on my nephew: His liver is failing and his spleen is quite enlarged and he can't produce platelets. He was toxic also. They gave him mega doses of antibiotics. When he first went in he was willing to sign a DNR request, however he has renewed strength and confidence after the antibiotics and has elected NO DNR and no Hospice or nursing home so the hospital discharged him to home. He has a nurse come in twice a week to check on him and give meds. His mom doesn't quite believe he knows the end is near, although the docs told him his body is failing and time is near. He will either die at home or be moved to a hospice if he gets worse.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and the advice on Branson. We have decided to do a week in Branson before moving on to Texas. Will do three days in Saint Louis and a couple in OKC before making it further south to TX. We're told the memorial to the Federal Employees in OKC is a Must see, so we will do that for sure.....
