Friday Afternoon Update

I just got the update from the surgeon. I am home today with Grant. My aunt typed this up for me to share with everyone.


The surgeon was just out and visited with Becky, and the rest of the family that were here. The update for this AM. Frank went to CT this morning to do further scanning of an area in the lower bowel that showed a “fluid pocket” on yesterdays scan. In the Radiology department under CT guidance they took fluid out of the abscess and have determined that it was the source of the infection that he has been trying to fight off. He has had a history of diverticuli and one of those had perforated and formed the abscess that now has a drainage tube that they have left in. The plan is to repeat the CT scan on Monday and make sure that things are continuing to improve.
The prayer is that now that his system doesn’t have to work so hard to fight the infection, that the problems with his heart will correct themselves.

Thanks for the prayers!!!
