THURSDAY MORNING 11/15

JEFF'S BLOOD CULTURE CAME BACK POSITIVE AND THEY THINK HE HAS DEVELOPED MRSA. HE HAS BEEN A CARRIER OF IT AND THEY HAVE BEEN TREATING HIM WITH VANCO BUT NOW THEY THINK HE HAS IT. PLEASE PRAY AND CALL ANYONE YOU KNOW TO PRAY. HE HAS MADE IT SO FAR AND NOW THIS.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON 11/15

Jeff had surgery and his belly was distended and swollen so they lost ground on the closure process. He is now more open than he was before. The surgeon also had them put the NG tube back in and so he will not get any lunch. He is so bummed out about this. They are hoping they can remove the tube by tonight so he can have supper. I did meet with the lady from the rehab hospital and the process of getting him to rehab has started. They have a waiting list and he needs a private room due to the MRSA. They also have to get him closed before he can go to rehab. He wants to be home by Christmas so please pray that they get him closed. This infection goes away and it is not MRSA and that they get him closed soon.
