March 13th

Well today was a little better. They took Kirk down first thing this morning and put in a portacath. This goes in on the left shoulder right under the skin, so no more needles. They can use it for IV's and for drawing blood. He was kind of drowsy but rested really well all day. I only got to talk to him a few times but he was in good spirits. Pastor Jonathan was also there today. Now if we can just get him eating again he will be on a roll. Today he was just doing liguids and then as he feels like it he can go to more solid foods. The doctor said that he really wants to make sure he is functioning well before he comes home again, so it could be a few days.

People have really pitched in to keep things going here at the farm. This afternoon when I got home John Huffard was helping to get the plows ready for planting season. Casey Williams has been working of the mornings before he goes to his real job in the evening at Volvo. Then in the afternoons Kyle Kincer a Senior in Matthew's class who is doing Deca comes in and helps. Like I said if it were not for everyone's help we couldn't do it. Our thanks to all!

God Bless!
