Surgical recovery...slow going

  We returned to St Francis on Wednesday for the post surgical check-up... and again on Thursday so that he could receive 2 more pints of blood. His levels just aren't staying where they should. The surgery has left him very sore and fatigued, he has no real appetite and he's losing weight. On the bright side, he is sleeping well and even though he needed 2 more pints yesterday, the Dr still feels that he is heading in the right direction. The Dr will be conferring with Yale to get a second perspective and we go back Friday to recheck his levels... they have 2 units on hold just in case :) I know he's frustrated because he can't get around too well but he's trying to be patient. All other treatment is on hold until he can be stabilized. Hopefully this can be done without further Surgery. Kids all started back to school so it will be a little less hectic during the day and probably a little boring, but it will give him a chance to rest. Hope life is being good to you and yours, thanks for all your warm thoughts and prayers.
