He is doing pretty good overall today. They are doing several breathing test and exercises with him today. He is doing really well on all except for the one that he takes a deep breath and holds it. They want him at a -20 and he is at -11. The white blood cell count is up to 17 today. The surgeon ordered another cat scan of the abdominal area tomorrow morning. The main thing they will look at is the colon. The radiologist may have to put in a new drain. The nurse for today is wanting to get the dialysis port out. He has not needed dialysis for a week now (praise God). That is a potential breeding ground for infection. The nurse was also concerned that he did not seem to want to talk much. We tried to explain to her that he does not say much unless he has something to say. I guess after spending time with the rest of the family she thought he would have a big mouth too!
Thanks for the prayers!!!
