Last week at this time things looked down-right desperate for Steve. And while his condition is still quite critical he's made it through the week where some doctors were very much questioning whether that was possible. There is even talk that they may try to take him off the ventilator and see how he responds, so that in and of itself is a mini miracle.
Quick side story:
Just around the same time that he was diagnosed with his cancer my Dad also found out that he had cancer found in a kidney. Through talking with some people that would know, we were told that the best possible doctor for the surgery would be one at the James Cancer Medical Center, Columbus (if he could get him...he was highly in demand of course). In hearing about my Dad's situation, Steve Snapp called him and said that if he had any trouble at all getting in with that particular doctor / hospital, let him know and he would do everything he could (talk to everyone he knew...and I'm sure he knows a lot of very influencial people).
Dad did get the doctor he wanted and scheduled the surgery in a timely manner. The surgery went well and Dad is doing great. We are praying like crazy for a similar end result for Steve.
I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement. Please keep them coming.
