Bucky Update: 8/24/13

Dear Family,
Most of you probably know, but Bucky went to the hospital last night. He came back home this morning, but while he was there, he had a blood transfusion. We knew he needed one, as he was becoming very weak and he was suffering from hypoxia (a lack of oxygen due to a lack a red blood cells to carry the oxygen to the body). When someone is drunk, they have hypoxia...so it would have been funny had we not been so close to losing him. (We are laughing a little bit today about the things he said...okay, not really, maybe one day we will.)  He came home with his mother this morning at six. We are so grateful for his mom and dad staying at the hospital with him and my mom for helping me get home to take care of the baby and staying with me last night.
He seems to be doing much better today.  I actually understand the conversations that I have been having with him.  He came home with a big tank of oxygen, I think that will help him.
We are deciding what we should do, he will probably need more transfusions.
We have faith and believe in miracles.  But we also know that the greatest miracle of all was the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who enabled us all to be resurrected and find rest with the Father.  He has a plan for Bucky.  He always has had a plan.  And He will carry us through this storm.

Love you all.  Your prayers are carrying us through this.  Thank you.

TJ and Bucky
