Tom Mooney Update

I spent This past Sunday night(all night) in the ER with Marcella and Marshall. Tom has pancreatitis and his duct is plugged out of it. Therefore all of the enzymes, acids, or whatever the pancreas produces was leaching into his intestines. As the Doctor put it "He is a very very sick man". They did not expect him to make it through the night. In 24 hours I made 3 trips to Erie and spent about 17 hours in the ICU waiting room. His conditions have improved some, although the problem has not gone away. They have drained at least 1500cc of fluid off of abdominal area. We are meeting with the doctors on Monday at 11:00. Pray for Marcella who got less sleep than I did at the beginning of the week (none). Continue to pray for him and his family.
ST. Vincent at 12:00 A.M.
