Thursday afternoon:
The "mom" report: Bette and Aunt Edna stayed with Mike today. He had a fever (40c) and was not producing much urine. They changed his antibiotics (to what? I will tell you later) and they changed his pain meds, as well as the nutrition formula. It sounds like that helped with urine output. The doctor told Bette that they might have to put Mike on dialysis, if he doesn't shape up. I guess they do pretty well on it and the doctor made it to not sound like a huge thing, but still... (freaking out here!)... Tomorrow, Mike will go to surgery to change the arterial line, in case that's a source for infection.
Bette will move to hospital guest housing tomorrow. It will be a closer drive than Bountiful, where she is currently staying with Paul and Christy. Thanks for being such angels during this time!!!
I will inform you of any more changes tonight if mom calls me or stay tuned for the morning report.
More later,
and so we go
