And we're back out of ICU again...

They moved Daddy back to the 6th floor today, although we still aren't clear on where the infection was/is. We hope that we'll get more answers Monday or Tuesday, when the lab results come back. Weekends in the hospital seem to be rough, especially if you're trying to get information! This afternoon, he was more alert (than yesterday when he was out of it all day) although still tired. He got out of bed and sat up for about an hour this morning. He did complain of tightness in his chest before they moved him out of ICU, so they did an EKG which was normal and decided that he was stable enough to move. We really don't know much more than we did a couple of days ago, except that they started a new antibiotic. I also noticed that he was much less swollen in his extremities today -- his feet looked much better than they have in weeks but he is still complaining of being bloated in his stomach. He has a lot of challenges ahead of him, but we are hoping and praying that this week he can definitively turn the corner for good. Mom has had a rough couple of days because Daddy has been very up and down since Thursday, and could use any encouragement that you are able to send her way. Email me offline if you need her address. Thanks again for all the faithful prayers and encouragement.
