Catching Up with Dick Carlson

by Dianne

For those not currently at Rockport 35 RV Park, and those who are, here's to catching up with Dick Carlson and his long journey to locating those elusive bleeders that have been plaguing him since admission to Christus Spohn in Corpus on January 21st. He was released on the 25th but ended up being readmitted on January 30th to The Heart Hospital in Corpus. He's undergone multiple tests from EGD's, Colonoscopies, VQ Scans, MRI's, and a few other tests - all without an answer to where he is bleeding internally. Both of these hospitals have exhausted their resources with no results. Today he will be transported, by ambulance, to UTSA University Hospital in San Antonio, TX. Hopefully, they will have the advanced technology/equipment needed to identify the origin of bleeding and put a stop to it. To date he has had 23 units of blood.

As you can imagine, it is beginning to take a toll on Dick's sense of humor and easy going spirit. We are asking that you join us in our prayers that God our Father will guide the doctors to the source of his medical problems and allow his healing and the return to his family.

If you want to send a card to Dick, you can address it to the Rockport 35 RV Park address -- 4851 N. Highway 35, Rockport, TX 78382.
