After a battery of testing on lungs, heart, stomach, intestines and legs....the results are in now.

Bill had a small bowel blockage or kink in the small bowel. Which ever we may never know but the good news is....the problem has resolved itself with treatment. Bill doesn't need surgery !
He really needed a break and he got it....thanks to everybody for many prayers. They are being answered.

Lungs Bill had fluid around the lungs and his breathing was labored and crackly. Verdict it was fluid overload from the number of drips he had in the hospital. Solution fluid pills...this too has been corrected. No further treatment needed.

Heart doctor gives him a good to go. They will change some of his meds for blood pressure as soon as they all agree on which road to take.

Legs.....he had ultra sound on both legs yesterday. Bill had a blood clot awhile back and the doctors put in a Greenfield filter at that time. The same filter will protect Bill's vital organs from the new blood clot in his right calf. This will be treated with meds and they are considering blood thinners to prevent further clots. The risks will be weighed against the benefits and a decision made before his release on Wednesday or Thursday.

Tomorrow at 8:30AM Bill will go from EJ to the dentist office for the next stage of fitting for the long ago lost denture. Another side issue being taken care of with multi tasking at EJ.

Today Bill sleep very soundly to the point that it worried me.....But this afternoon he woke up very pink and cheerful so I guess he was just worn out.

Barbara ...Vic's mother dropped off Maggie to spend some time at the hospital with her Kutzie and Paw Paw...that was really special Thanks Maggie for coming from Texas to Mississippi to Louisiana to visit. We love and miss all six of our girls very much.

Thanks to Bill's brother Mike for his visit tonight and for having a last resort plan for a house full of stuff (29 years accumulation) should we get in a bind. I think we can make it ! But it sure feels good to have a back up plan just in case.
