Hey Guys,

I'm back and Dad is doing better. Fever is now up and down, but Kidneys started functioning much better. 

My wife and I really do appreciate the prayers and positive thoughts!

Kind Regards,

Dave

Thanks Again, Guys...

He's doing better, but still laying in the bed unconscious. His quality of life is not good at all. He got chemo for pancreatic cancer. Although the cancer hasn't spread in a long time, the chemo seems to have weakened him to the point that the slightest infection just seems to run into septic shock.

Maybe prayers for a decisive outcome - recovery or check out - are best.

Kind Regards,

Dave

Guys,

It looks like septic shock is taking over again. He's swelling, which according to this link

http://www.merck.com/mmhe/sec17/ch191/ch191c.html  

means heart failure:

"The heart may fail, resulting in fluid retention and swelling of tissues. Additionally, blood clots may form inside blood vessels."

Perhaps given his condition and absence of any signs of recovery, this is the best thing.

Many Thanks Again,

Dave

One of the hardest things is handling all of the people who come from afar to visit an unconscious hospital patient!

 I stand corrected. He came conscious today and was talking! Probably thanks to all of you guys!

Thanks Again,

Dave
