woke early to reflect and pray.
I have heard that 95% of they battle is mental attitude. I can see this in several ways. Firstly dad has no self pity or complaining and his courage to fight comes from faith in God. He demonstrates this by verbally giving thanks for everything and appreciating even the little things such as a good night sleep.
I'm not saying he doesn't suffer or that we don't shed tears together but there is hope and joy as well. It helps to not focus on the problem.
also because there is hope he forces himself to eat and drink and exercise and care for his own needs as much as he is able even when he doesn't feel like it. These small goals are necessary therapy and critical to recovery since sitting and sleeping so much causes the loss of precious muscle mass. So each of these things we are tracking and accepting as challenges in a contest.
I speak words of encouragement and life and I correct him when he begins to apologize for being a burden.
the scripture tells me to "bear ye one another's burden and so fulfill the law of Christ", which i understand to be "love one another".
well enough of my morning rant, more later.

11/16 after midnight
so after my morning rant we had a tough day trying to hydrate today, but by day's end we succeeded at 65 of the 67 oz required by the doctor.
The problem was that his bloating made eating difficult and there is weight gain from 185 to 188 in 5 days. I'm not sure if it is water or backed up bowels. He didn't poop much today.
so he had 1 egg 2 tiny muffins and some berris and a slice of cheese for his total food intake for the day. His drinks included kifer and a juice drink for dinner.
we succeeded at 3 drops mms1 for 8 hours.
between dosing, feeding, cleaning, exercise, bathroom trips, doctor visits, oxygen management, intellectual stimulation and companionship this is fairly a full time occupation. 
I am thankful for my wife nancy cooking, vacuuming, doing laundry, shopping, and giving me the night to sleep. 
I better make use of time for sleep.
cheers

it is i good thing to give thanks to the lord because he is good and always does good things. When we ask him for something we need he immediately answered. If we understand what is in his mind we can agree with him and be joyful knowing that the answere is enroute.
the father sends his messengers to deliver this answere much like a package delivery.
the confidence we place in God's word prevents this package from being lost in transit.
there is no tracking app for this so we must maintain confidence in the send
