Joel

Hey everybody,
My brother Joel is still at Riley and will be until at least next week. He is improving though, and is in good spirits most of the time. I'm pretty sure I already explained a little bit, but he has a GI disease that has resulted in lots of bleeding, and has been at Riley since late Sunday night. He was severely anemic and S.Bend Memorial wanted him down at Riley to better control his symptoms, as his doctor, the only pediatric GI doctor around, practices down there. He was diagnosed with this last July, but has been suffering a severe flare-up for a few weeks, and it has come to this. But, as I said, it is improving! Hopefully we'll see him coming home next week.

Please pray for him,
Misty
