And we're back in ICU

Apparently, Daddy has an infection in his abdomen -- not sure if it's something new or if the other never really cleared up. They did say he has less fluid there than last time. And he had chest pains last night so they moved him back up, with tentative plans to drain the fluid again. They have called in an infectious disease dr. to consult so hopefully this time there will be some resolution. Yesterday morning they took out the drain to his lungs and were talking about sending him to rehab today if there was a bed open, but he did not have a good morning when I was there yesterday and, personally, I was not overly optimistic that he would be in rehab today. It seems that we are stuck in the same cycle -- he shows signs of infection, goes to ICU, they seem to treat it, he seems better, but within the week he's showing signs of infection again. My mom is exhausted, and we are all quite tired of being up at the hospital. We appreciate all the people who have been praying for us faithfully. Will update when I know something else.

  1. Oh, Alicia. I am so sorry. I know how long the days are when you are in the hospital. We are still praying.
