We still don't have the pathology report back from Dad's colon biopsy, but he does seem to be doing a little better this morning. He didn't need as much intervetion last night, so he got a lot of good sleep. I think that has made a big difference. He woke up at 6:00 this morning and said that he didn't have that groggy, still tired feeling like he usually does. He was able to eat some yogurt and granola, too.
His vitals all seem to be more stable and he didn't need any blood or platelets last night. The infectious disease doctor took him off of some antibiotics and changed to others that should work better against the c.diff infection. Hopefully, once these medications kick in, we'll start to see more and more progress.
He does look a little bit jaundiced, but the nurse said that it's just the chemotherapy at work and that he should be able to recover from that. We know from experience that the liver is an amzing organ!
Anyway, we're feeling more optimistic this morning and hoping to get answers regarding his biopsy soon! Jordon flew in this morning and is with mom at the hospital. I'm home now, heading to bed after my graveyard shift. We'll update as soon as we find out anything more, but I think that some prayers might be kicking in now! :)
Love you guys and think about you all day, every day!
