Two Weeks!

Terry is still spending his time in the hospital.  So I thought I'd share another picture of the view from his window, two weeks later (first photo here).  There is a little more color out there and it was beautiful in the sun today.



Terry still has fevers and this morning had a really bad chill and long lasting rigors that made the rest of the day pretty crummy. 

Doctors are hopeful that the meds they are giving him will do the trick in a few days.  They are also checking for a line infection and if there is one they will pull out the Hickman line.  We hope that is not the case because it is so much better than poking him, especially since he bruises so badly each time they do.  The doctors are also wondering if the high fevers will just be a common occurrence for Terry at this point.  There are still no definite answers so we are just taking things one day at a time ... as usual. 

As far as doing better ... it's hard to say from one day to the next.  He had a really good Sunday, but a not so good Monday.  Whatever I say will be wrong as soon as I say it.   The doctor told us today that he thinks we can get him home before Thanksgiving.

He is somewhat in isolation.  If anyone has a cold or other illness or any symptoms they shouldn't come in his room.  Everyone is to wash up before they enter the room and I have noticed that the nurses and doctors are really doing a great job at that.
