Health Update
On Friday the 22nd I checked into the Kindai Hospital. It was the same old problem, my colon just decided to quit working. One good thing was that my main doctor, Dr. Sato, was on duty that morning and arranged for me to be hospitalized. My bad condition had started at about 10pm on Thursday night and continued on till about 4pm on Friday. At noon, on Friday, they put me on an IV and I was ordered to not eat or drink anything-this continued till noon on Monday. However, around 4pm on Friday my colon started to move again on its own and my doctor said that I was over the hump. However, it would take time to really get my colon moving again as it should so I needed to continue the IV treatment.
Things went smoothly and so at noon on Monday the 25th I was able to eat my first meal since noon of the 21st. I continued to improve and so I was able to come home on Wednesday the 27th.
It will take some time for my colon to recover and for me to gain back my strength and so my next chemotherapy treatment will not be till the 16th of September.
I want to thank all of you who have been praying for me and would also like to request that you continue to pray that God will give me the grace and the strength to do all that I am to do here in Japan.
I did not enjoy the IV treatment at all but I did enjoy lots of good fellowship with Christians who came to visit me and I also was able to do a lot of enjoyable reading. PTL
Please continue to pray for me-thanks. Paul
