Any more word on how he's doing?

 

HI All,

Hes asked me to come on and update you all on how hes getting on. The answer for today is not too well. His liver and kidneys have gone on strike as a result of either antibiotics or an infection somewhere. He is having a CT scan in the morning to try and find the source of the infection as his white cells are high. He is still on IV antibiotics and fluids. He is also having a drain put in his lung again on Monday once his warfarin levels are down as to prevent any further bleeding. I showered him tonight and wheeled him outside for some fresh air. he is pretty fed up and it doesnt look like he will be coming home any time soon :(

He thanks you all for his get well wishes and your concern

You's (particularly Andy) haven't been far from my thoughts all week Seona, a difficult time turning into a VERY difficult time. Fingers crossed things right themselves soon, consolation if there is one!! is that he is in the right place. Atvb John.

Hi guys,

hes not had too bad a day today, a few of his blood test show slight improvement in his liver and kidney function although he has developed very swollen legs which are a tad uncomfortable for him, I mentioned it to the staff and they were away to get the Dr as I was leaving to sort it out. He had a CT scan this morning to check for any pockets of infection and the good news is they couldn't find any.... but they did find gallstones lol trust him to have something else. He had an ultrasound of his lungs and had the site marked for the drainage of fluid on Monday morning once his warfarin level is low enough. the IV antibiotics are working (meropenem for those interested, oh and he is allergic to doxycicline which he found amusing )he has been moved inot his own little room on the ward, just hope he doesnt get too bored not talking to the other guys in the room, all of which left today :/

I will continue to pass messages and updates as I can

Cheers for now folks
