To all, Our good friend Alvin is not doing well. As of this morning he has lost a total of 37 lbs. He is waiting for his Dr. to schedule an ultrasound to investigate the gallbladder issue. the Dr. has moved up the ultrasound from Monday the 10th to this Thursday. He is trying to get the follow up scheduled for Friday so he won't have to wait thru the weekend.
He is still having some stomach problems and is only able to eat soft foods or clear liquids. His stomach is not contracting as it should while digesting and not moving foods through his system as needed. This is associated with the "Gastroparesis" and his diabetes. On top of all of this he is having some kidney issues and is waiting to see a Dr. for that.
He doesn't really feel like talking much, if you know our Alvin that's just not right. Please keep him in your prayers and maybe say an extra one as well.
