Guess what...Joey's eating a popsicle!! He also has green jello to enjoy. That's the good news. Now for the not so good...He still is full of fluid. His right side seems to be puffier than the left, so he is going for another ultrasound later this afternoon. His blood cultures did show some signs of bacteria, so they are continuing with the antibiotics. It's only 3:30 and he has been on two walks and in between has been sitting in the chair...so by my math, he has been up since 10:00!! This is unbelievable. Have no idea when they plan on springing him, but assume Fri. or Sat. He still has some hurdles to get over, but if you know Joey like I do, he will give it his all to beat the odds. As Darlene says: {{hugs to everyone!}}

Joe and Kerri,
ReplyDeleteI just found out about all your troubles from Diane Jackson, who works with me down at the Courthouse. I'm so sorry. Yet, through the gifts of each other, the support and encouragement of your extended family and friends, God will give you both the grace and blessings to persevere and flourish. Please know that Maggie and I will have you frequently in our thoughts and prayers.
I'll let Frank know as well so he can crank up the prayers also. (I suspect his might be more effective than mine!!!)
All the best.

YA! Glad to hear ALL the tubes are out! Sounds like everything is functioning properly. Keeping our fingers crossed that you get to come home soon- but don't rush it as you've got great care right there.

Big hugs to both of you.

Glad to hear that nasty NG tube is GONE! Sounds like the plumming is working correctly. Time to go back to work. Take care Joey. Rest and prayers will heal.

Hi Joe, Hope you are feeling better. Glad to hear you finally took a shower,(especially for Kerri, Cam and Kaleb}. Get the hell out of that place, a hospital is no place to get better. See you soon!
