Monday/Tuesday Update

I don't have a lot of detail, but this is what I know:
  • He is having swelling/bloating and the doctors are trying to find out why. They took some more blood samples yesterday to see if anything comes up. They also took him off the liquid drip. Also did an X-Ray of his stomach and it came back normal. Swelling start with this stomach, yesterday his knees, and not sure if anywhere else today. I do know that it hasn't gone down any.
  • He is still able to eat and drink some and that overall seems to be doing better and better.
  • Doctors said that staph at this point is almost gone.
  • Doctors also said that the remission/recovery from the C-Diff is making great progress.
  • Dad said today that he was able to do some occupational therapy.

Please keep in your prayers the samples they took yesterday, the swelling, dad's overall strength, recovery from infections, etc. He is still feeling very sick and not at all feeling good/normal, but he is recovering from everything he went through at this time last week.

Thank you a million times over for all the prayers and support!!! God Bless!
