Well it has been a long few days with Jeff. Sunday after we got home from taking care of my Dad in California, he was in so much pain that he asked me to take him to the ER. He had been in pain for a couple of days but thought it was just gas. Turns out he has perforated diverticultis. So at this point he is on antibiotics for several days, at least. He is feeling much better and his fever is gone. His white blood count is going down and we are hoping that he continues on the same path. That means that he has avoided a nasty surgery and will be able to recover and have the corrective surgery at his "convenience". (If there is ever a convenient time to have major surgery.) He says he wants to wait until after hunting and fishing season. We will see what happens. He is supposed to be moved into a better room soon. I sure hope so because I am staying with him and this tiny room is not comfortable. But, I'm not complaining. After all I have been through with my Dad, I am just s thankful that Jeff is getting better so quickly.
P.S. He is in Methodist Hospital in Sugarland.
