well, dea looks great today. he has been able to walk several laps around the floor, and his digestive system is showing signs of working again. they might even delay any surgery to put in feeding/drainage tubes to see if it will kick back into gear. we wont know more for a couple days.
either way, he should be able to go home pretty soon here. (either his digestive system starts working again in the next couple of days, or they put in a feeding and drainage tube and send him home.) so, it is true that he doesnt have mrsa. but it *does* turn out he has c-diff. it isnt really a big deal, but it does mean that visitors technically have to put on a gown/gloves when they come in and/or avoid contact with him. update: i dont even know anymore. there arent any special visiting restrictions anymore. you can come in gown/glove free! i'm starting to think that being able to update from the hospital *isnt* a good thing! | |

| Dea, didn't know you were sick. I will add you to my prayer list and I am sure God has bigger plans for you. Hang in the man. I need to hear HOWDeeee again. |

| This website is awesome (loved the photos). Sophie sure looks like her dad in that one with just the two of them. Now I can check in without bothering you on the message machine when you come home to rest. Sounds like that blockage was a major discovery. Dea, "ain't" that barium great? Have had it a few times myself. Keep up the good work walking. Thinking of you all...Mary Whalen P.S. Charlene, NHS had an adopt-a-thon last week (for 3 days) before the Walk for the Animals at Elmwood Park. Found homes for 315 dogs & cats in 3 days (they were all 1/2 price). Had to make room in the building for the 50-60 dogs we are bringing back from Louisiana, homeless as a result of the hurricane. We are partnering with Lincoln humane society and they are taking the homeless cats. |
