Doing better!


After a few days of medical ups and downs, and doctors with varying opinions, it is now fairly clear that David is getting better. The bacterial and fungal infections in his blood are going away. His liver values are returning to normal. His temperature is no longer spiking. And his water weight is greatly diminished. He is still battling pain issues, and he has lost all the hard-won weight he put on over summer. We will have to feed him a lot when he gets home. As of now it sounds like they are preparing to send him home in a few days. I'll keep you posted!
