Lars passed away this morning in his sleep around
600. He was such a wonderful person and I am so blessed he chose me
to spend his life with. Lois, Svend and Lisa were with Lars at
the time of his death, he was surrounded by people who loved him deeply,
and my mom and I arrived shortly after. I am just so thankful to
have been a part of his life and it brings me great comfort to know that
he is in a place where he is no longer in pain.
There will be a memorial service at Columbus AFB and the funeral
will be held in Cape Girardeau MO. I will let you know more details
later today.

Lars is still in the hospital. He does hear you
when you talk to him but can not always respond back. He is in a lot
of pain. |

Lars has been having a very hard time walking. His
health has progressively been declining. This morning he became
incoherent and unresponsive. We rushed him to the hospital.
Lars will be remaining in the hospital, they are better equipped to make
sure he is not in pain and to help take care of him. We are just not
able to move him around with out putting him in pain at home since he can
not help.
He is receiving IV fluids and morphine every 2 hours which is
helping with his pain. He is my strength, support, best friend, the
most wonderful husband, lover and father of our children. I love him
with all my heart and soul and am so thankful that God has blessed us with
wonderful family, friends, military family and community to support us
through this.
I will try to update the web site daily to keep you abreast of Lars'
situation. Love, Liz |

I have been resting a lot and too tired to
update the web page. For the most part I am doing ok,
but could be better.
Lars went into the hospital tonight due to a 102 degree fever.
He received two units of blood (red cell count was 2800 should be around
3500) and started him on antibiotics. Also running blood tests.

Just wanted to add a quick note thanking everyone for
their cards, emails, packages, and prayers. I have received so many
it is difficult to respond to each one individually, so I am doing it here
in bulk fashion. |
