I was able to get by the hospital to see Dave before church and again mid-afternoon today. This morning Dave discussed with the doctor the goals for his day - get his "digestive system" moving better, perform and analyze some tests on his adrenal gland to see if it is working properly, and do another tap to drain any excess fluid.
As of 4:30 this afternoon, Dave has ingested plenty of laxative and was still waiting for positive results. The tests on his adrenal gland had been performed, also with results still pending. The tap was not done, as they were unable to find a pocket of fluid large enough to do one, which Dave is embracing as a good thing.
I asked Dave about his nutrition, and whether he had eaten his breakfast this morning. He said that he had a couple bowls of cereal, twice in fact. The cereal ultimately stayed down.
Dave has discussed with the doctors his desire to become an outpatient and return home tomorrow, so that is a goal they are working on.
Thanks for your continued prayers.

Get well fast, Dave my man. We miss the dance. Say this three times fast: Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of cereal was it? I've been told that Fruit Loops is particularly easy on the digestive system.
