The doctor office called this morning and reported that the CT Scan results were stable. As a result I am now able to have clear liquids. I will also be taking an oral antibiotic in addition to the IV antibiotic to evaluate if I can tolerate the change. If I am able to tolerate the oral antibiotic then the IV antibiotics will be eliminated. I will continue with the other IVs at this time.
It is slow progress, but it is still progress.

ReplyDeleteAlan, It sounds as though you are making good progress, not as fast as you would like, I'm sure. We are praying each day for your recovery.
ReplyDeleteAn update on Roz - she is home, but is experiencing problems. I hope the home care will be enough for her to carry on.
Also, my brother-in-law John is home from the hospital, very weak, but trying to walk some. He is amazingly cheerful. Blessings. Donna Palacios
A little humor for you...
ReplyDeleteOn the first day, God created the dog and said:
'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.'
The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?'
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.'
The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?'
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said:
'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun , have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.'
The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?'
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said:
'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.'
But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten
the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?'
'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Will continue to pray for you and Rhonda. Love you. Jenny

Got this in an e-mail today:
ReplyDeleteGood morning,
I found this article the other night on the internet, ranking cities in the country according to the ui rate and Elkhart was 21st, one behind Detroit and 2 ahead of Kokomo, making this the worst city in the State. Most of the towns ahead of us were in CA or MI. Niles was 25th so the whole Michiana area is in bad shape. It also listed job growth. Not all cities had data on that, but of those reporting, Elkhart was no. 2 for the worst, topped only by the infamous Flint, MI.
Needless to say, but it makes the work you do everyday very important in the lives of countless people who’ve been affected by this downturn. I hope you take some pride in that when you’re feeling overworked.
Good to see you last night. Take care. Love and prayers are coming your way. Jenny
