So when I had y’all send out the e-mail chain last week, I thought I asked for some sort of healing, not for a hex to be put on Mike. Things have progressively gotten worse, and after a more than two month hiatus, Mike is back in ICU. He started having seizures yesterday around 1:30. You know nothing good is coming down the pipe when you’ve got five medical professionals in the room and a few more standing outside the door. I’m not sure what the folks outside the room were doing. Maybe it’s the medical equivalent of rubbernecking? Mike had a CT Scan on both his head and chest yesterday afternoon. It appears that Mike had a small stroke. And you remember that thing the doctor was a little worried about in his lungs yesterday? The CT scan showed that that would be a blood clot. Lovely. The bonus problem that comes with that is that Mike needs blood thinner to help with the clot but with his platelets being so low, even more problems can ensue. (They're around 27,000 today.) Mike is back on a BIPAP machine to help his breathing. He was on one of those a few weeks ago for a couple of days. Despite being given extra steroids over the weekend, Mike has a substantial amount of swelling in his brain. Obviously, with all of these issues, there will be no Avastin given today. Things aren’t looking real good for the home team. Miss Scarlett, we may just be running out of those tomorrows.
Be sure to read the post after this one...it's new!

I'm calling all who are interested in a day of fasting. For those that know me, this truly is a big self-sacrifice. I know people that can fast for 3 days straight. I think I will just stick with one. I'm starting tomorrow, Thursday, April 17th if anyone wants to join me.

I don't know you, but I have received your email that you sent out to everyone. I'm sorry to hear the bad news. The good news is that you guys have lots of support that you don't even know personally. Mike's healing and your family are in my prayers. I also passed your email along to others located through the states. My advise for you is to not let God down and to know that he has control over this matter and HE WILL conquer this battle!
Much prayers from a stranger and a supporter,

No one, except God, knows what tomorrow holds but I believe Your dedication and love to your husband is such a powerful thing. The way you have honored your vows and love to Mike is such an inspiration to others. I pray that his mercy continue to be with you and yours through this very difficult task.
Diane,
I am so sorry to hear about Mike. I too pray that God lays his healing hands on Mike, but also on you, your family and Mikes family. I am so glad that I got to meet you and Mike this week. Not to have known you and Mike I can say that after talking with you, I know God sent him a wonderful lady to spend his life with. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.
Your friend,
Dreamer
Diane,
I am so sorry for your loss, Mike was a great guy and will be missed.

Just keep the strength that allowed our beloved Miss Scarlet to fight for what she dearly loved.

To all those who are left behind. Do not stand at my grave and weep. For I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glintz on snow. I am the sun on rippened grain. I am the gentle fallen rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush. I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Please do not stand at my grave and cry, For I am not there, I did not die. Mike we will always have you in our hearts and memories
My heart and prayers are with the family and many friends of Coach Starnes. The things he taught me not only as a coach but about life will always be with me. His wisdom and his wit will be truely missed.
Sincerely,
Tri Heard and Family
