Still Waiting...

Tests, tests and more tests!

Dad's still resting comfortably, but the fever continues to hover around the 99 to 101 degrees, and they still haven't been able to figure out the cause as of yet.

Stool cultures negative (Praise God for that) so far. And doesn't look like the C-Diff was the culprit either.

So...

Tests, tests and more tests!

It's beginning to look more and more like it'll be late next week before we get out of TG. Some folks have said, "Sorry, to hear Buddy's back in the hospital." Talking with Trish a few minutes ago; I found that all of us seem to feel exactly the opposite... we're relieved this is where he's at.

The attentive care, more tests, the staff, the attentive care... it's all very comforting (I know I said attentive care twice, but that's the part we're most pleased by).

They put an NG tube back in this morning. That will allow food, fluids & some of the meds to go that way until the PEG is in place. It's looking like that probably won't happen until next week sometime.

Keep Dad in your prayers!!
