just a quick update: dea is doing pretty well. he has been fever free for some time now. he just needs to have a normal blood pressure to leave the icu. it may be a few days before that happens though, as it is a pretty tough infection he is fighting off.

if anything changes, i'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

update (11:35am):

he had a fever again last night, but that wasnt unexpected. they still think he is on track for beating this thing soon. they had to put another iv line in (pumping all his drugs through one vein was slowing up the delivery of his medicine).

the cat scan he had yesterday didn't show any new signs of cancer. (but he still has cancer, and will need more treatment once he is stronger.)
