Daddy was taken back up to ICU this morning after he developed chills and a fever. Doctors suspected the culprit was an infection that stemmed from his PICC line (which has been in for over a month now). The PICC line was removed, a dose of a powerful antibiotic was given and he'll be in ICU for 24 hours (give or take) for monitoring. He continues to have some fluid on his lung, but the earliest they can do something about that is tomorrow morning because Daddy's been on blood thinner for the clot behind his knee. It just seems to be one thing after another.
He was able to eat a little bit of this and that today, so that's a good sign...the more we can get food in him, the better! Please continue to pray for healing and resolution of these various issues. Daddy's frustration is evident (although certainly understandable) and our family is weary. It's so easy to be discouraged by these setbacks, but pray that we all will find hope, peace and encouragement in the day to day.
