He had an okay night last night. The nurse said that his white blood cell count is SLIGHTLY elevated today. I think it was up to 13. Normal is 11. He also had a slight fever. Hopefully we will get some news on that today. They are going to do a cat scan later today to make sure there are no more abases and the pocket of fluid around the pancreas is okay. We are still on the ventilator. Hopefully we will get another update from the new lung doctor today that is as good as yesterday. My mom asked that I put these two main prayer request in here. The first is for rest, peace, and patience for my dad. He is starting to show signs of discouragement. The second is for the lungs and breathing. We are hoping to get him off the ventilator soon!
Thanks for the prayers!!!

Melissa, you don't remember me but I'm your dad's cousin. My dad gave me your blog address so I could catch up on Frank's(Dwight to me) problem. Hopefully progress has been made and the infection will go away and the heart valve can be repaired. Please tell him that he is in our thoughts and prayers.

You will probably never know how many people are keeping up with your updates on your dad. I myself check it at least twice a day, sometimes more. Thank you so much for helping us feel like a part of your life and helping us know what to pray for each day. We are also praying for strength for you and your mom and brothers. I know this is getting tiring. May God continue to be with you. Take care. Lauri Jensen
Hi Melissa. I'm Kendra Rosenbaum, the wife of Chris Rosenbaum that works for Frank at Polk. Just wanted you guys to know that we read every day--multiple times and are praying for you all constantly. Your blog is a blessing to all of us who want regular updates. Thank you! God is good and we lean on his power. I know this Christmas feels very different for your family.
