Update on Seth and Vickie

Hi Folks,
This is Laura again. Sorry to keep all of you hanging. I finally just spoke to Vickie myself. She is really sick. When she got home from the hospital she crawled into bed and has just emerged for the first time for a cup of tea. She discovered numerous unreturned phone messages (10 of them were from me!) and called to give me the facts and ask me to update the blog so everyone knew what was going on. Seth's recent bout was due to a blockage. They believe that he has adhesions caused by scar tissue that formed as a result of the surgery. The adhesions will have to be removed surgically, however, the hope is that it can wait until the next already required surgery. In order for that to occur, Seth needs to be very careful about what he eats. Seth needs to eat soft foods and, probably, small amounts. He has lost 9 lbs since Monday. Seth said that he had the worst pain he has ever experienced Monday night. He actually blacked out. Now Vickie is very sick and she is concerned about Seth getting it. Vickie will return to blogging when she is better and my little stint will be over. Again, sorry for keeping all of you hanging. It wasn't intentional. Let's pray Seth through this so that he will not have to have an extra surgery. Thank you for all of your love and support. Vickie tells me all the time that your support has made a world of difference during this challenging time. Your prayers and friendships are treasured.
