Update on Joe’s dad
So the hospital did a transesophageal ultrasound today. Good news – while there is some fluid in and around the lungs, it’s not nearly as much as the doctors had originally thought, and they’re going to deal with it with medicine, not drain it with a pleural tap. He’s responding to commands, and the hospital is thinking of weaning him off the ventilator. They still haven’t isolated the infection, but apparently his belly is less distended and his hand (which had been looking kind of yucky because of an IV that wasn’t changed for several days) is looking better too. So they may never know for sure what the problem was, but I guess as long as it clears up that’s plenty of reason for thanksgiving. Praise the Lord!!!
