Butch and Vickie....

I am not sure when Vickie will have time to post here on Off. She did post on Butch's Care Pages site and on Facebook.  I will give a brief update to those who don't have Facebook or aren't able to get to his site. I hope you don't mind, Vickie! 

I just want to let you all know Butch has a bowel obstruction. He has a nose tube right now and cannot have any food at this point. They are hoping the obstruction/ twisting will ready itself. It is wait and see for now. He may need surgery but not quite yet.

Butch will no longer be on the trial he was on in Houston. He will not be receiving Chemo as planned on Monday.

PLEASE keep the good thoughts and prayers, vibes, chickens or whatever coming for Butch and Vickie. They need all of us right now.

GOD BLESS them both and their family. 

I love you Vickie and Butch. I am praying and will continue to do so.

Love and many hugs to you all....connie d

Thank you, Connie!  You're right, I don't have much computer time right now.  You got everything exactly right in your post.  I'm getting ready to leave for the hospital now.  

One of my friends is a hospital pharmacist, and she wrote me about bowel obstructions.  She says that most of the time they DO resolve themselves with enough time and rest.  She says we are probably looking at a 10 day stay in the hospital.  Once the obstruction clears, they have to start Butch very carefully on a clear liquid diet, then soft foods, et****il his bowels are working properly again.  That sounds like a very long ordeal, but so much better than surgery, so we'll take it!  Please pray that God will take care of my husband.  I know He is in control.  I am trying very hard to remain faithful and not let depression and despair overtake me.  So please pray for me, too.  I have to be strong right now.  

I love you all!  I'm taking my laptop to the hospital with me today.  I'll post on CarePages as we know more.

Good morning Vickie .....you know without a doubt you and Butch are always in my prayers. You are right here in my heart!

I know it can be a long ordeal for you both. Take comfort in knowing we all care so much and want only the best for you and Butch.

God Bless my sweet friend....I  love you much!!

More love and bunches of hugs....connie d

Vickie, I hope everything straightens out for Butch, so to speak. Swinging chickens for you, to make broth. Sorry he can't stay on the trial, but oh well. ... 

Vickie, it was good to see you on OFF today -- in spite of everything you're dealing with right now.  We will continue to pray for both you and Butch.

Connie, thanks for this post.  I saw similar info on Carepages but your post was more detailed.  My family prays for Butch and Vickie and I will update them on his current situation.
