Scott MacIntyre-11/22/06
Carole MacIntyre Updates on Scott's Condition:
Dear one and all:Thanks again for your prayers, it's been a difficult and taxing 6 days, andjust knowing that there are those of you stubbornly(in a good sense)continue to pray for Scott and our family, means so much to us.Just wanted to let you know a change re: Scott's 4 wisdom teeth extractionswill now take place on Mon. Nov. 27th, not today. We were told that he losta lot of blood with the surgery last Wed, his hematacrit went from 35 to 25within a few days (normal is approx 40), thus causing anemia again, (and itprobably hasn't helped that those wonderful health care people keep drawingtubes of blood every time he does dialysis). so the wisdom tooth surgery ispushed out a few days. We are now scheduled to take Scott 3 days a week toa dialysis center in Scottsdale. Scott was there yesterday for dialysis, nowhe's had 4 sessions total, the next is tomorrow (Thanksgiving day).In all it took about 6 1/2 hours driving and sitting yesterday; His bloodpressure was very low at the end of the session, so we needed to wait arounda bit for it to come up. We are hoping we can relocate Scott to a closercenter to eliminate the 35-45 min drive each way. As I mentioned in aprevious update, Scott hasn't played piano for several weeks now, andespecially since the surgery has had difficulty moving his right arm. (thecatheter is in his right side chest and neck) But yesterday he played for afew minutes, which for Scott is the tell- tale sign that he is feeling a bitbetter.Please pray for Scott's anemia, upcoming oral surgery, closer location fordialysis, and above all for God's divine healing. One friend wrote in hercard to Scott "We're all praying for a miraculous healing - and we won'tgive up".with thanks for standing in prayer with us,Carole all the MacIntyres
