Medical Update . . .

Since so many of you have inquired as to how "Big Bill" is faring, here is a quick update . . .

Big Bill left the hospital (Armstrong County Memorial) on Monday, after they removed the stent. While in there, his doctor had put him on a 1,200 calorie a day diet, which caused my Dad to lose about 15 pounds over the course of about 10 days. Of course, Dad didn't know really feel like eating during this time. This prompted my 18-year-old brother Billy to say,

"They should have kept him in for 3-4 months."

Hey, Billy, you speak for all of us! (I know, I know, tough family, eh?!)

Dad has been resting at home this week -- he is a little low on energy, been catching up on sleep, and still does not have much of an appetite (which is normal). The only time he leaves the house is to watch Chad at his wrestling practice. Big Bill plans on going back to work next week.

But wait, there's more! Next week Big Bill has a follow-up appointment with a nephrologist. And the real kicker, is that the guy's name is . . . Dr. Average!

Really, I am NOT KIDDING!
