May 30, 2013 update

After many many phone calls and texts, we decided to set up a blog to help keep people up to date without stressing Alisha or the kids out.  So, check back here for current updates.

The most recent news is that he still has the heart bypass machine, and will be for 3-5 more days, but he went in for surgery for an internal echo cardiogram to see if they can turn down the machine to help with clotting.  He is still bleeding more than they would like.  It's a very delicate balance.  He also is beginning continual dialysis to clean his blood.  This is to be expected because the kidneys are slow to respond, the Dr's say.  This should support his other organs so that they can recoup.  He seems to respond to Alisha and the kids well.  His blood pressure continually rises when she is in the room and talks to him.  He also opened his eyes for Alisha and Rachael this morning.

Alisha sent me these pics of him from this morning.




Please continue the prayers! They are helping!

We love you Stan!  Keep fighting!

  7. Stan, you are a great man, and remind me of another man I look up to, my Uncle John. We are fasting and praying for you and your family, that the strengthening power of the Atonement will be with you all.
