Thank you all for your prayers and responses - I guess I could say that the hospital stays have all been since June - not his whole life - that might make more sense - alot of people see a hospital 8 times in a lifetime but no this has been in six months.  Everything from gallstones and stitches to a back injury and accidents.  And I guess you are all wondering why I am asking for prayers since he is okay - well I guess to explain it further, he has lost a good job because of this and was to start a new job yesterday - he can't seem to work because of all of this and of course this is depressing to him.  All the medical emergencies and drugs cause other problems for him because he has bipolar disorder and it throws his regular medication he takes on a daily basis way off.  That is what is making this all so hard for him and him needing your prayers.  Thank you for them!
