Well, I haven't posted for a couple of days because frankly. it's been pretty busy. Jeff walked ALOT on Wednesday and spent most of Thursday in bed resting so I was a little busy entertaining him and also I went into work for a little bit to see what has been going on there.
Yesterday Jeff was hoping he was going home. He had a CT scan to see how he was healing. The first doctor (internal medicine) came in and said that it was beginning to heal but still would need to be on antibiotics for a couple of weeks. Then the second doctor (surgeon) comes in and tells Jeff that he doesn't feel that it is healing well enough yet and he will assess again on Monday if he should have surgical intervention. So we were a little bummed for awhile. Then his other doctor (gastroenterologist) came in and sat down with us and explained that the CT scan did show improvement but we should not be expecting it to heal so quickly. Basically he feels that Jeff is doing incredibly well and should just keep taking it easy. So we started feeling much better after talking to him.
This morning the weekend surgeon came in and said basically that they want Jeff to be on IV antibiotics for 7 full days and then they will switch him to oral antibiotics and let him go home. That could mean we are home by Monday. YEAH!
In the meantime, we are thinking about getting ready for the hurricane that is headed this direction. Allen has been helping out tremendously with getting our travel trailer pulled away from the Gulf Coast and back home.
On another note, my Dad has been allowed to start eating solid foods as well. It looks like him and Jeff are at about the same point.
I guess when it rains, it pours!!!!
More later.
