Terry has been in the hospital since Saturday.  Over about a 4 day period he gradually stopped eating and drinking.  He has a bladder infection and because he wasn't swallowing at all, I was unable to get his antibiotic in him.  So, after calling his nurse and the nurse talking to the doctor, here we are.

It's Monday and after being on an IV with nutrients, his antibiotic and some extra pain meds, he's resting well.  He's more aware today, also.  He even returned a kiss this morning!

We've had a lot of difficulty getting him to eat and drink enough and he's lost a lot of weight.  He may need a feeding tube.  Please help us pray about this decision.

We'll probably be here several days.  I'll try to post daily to keep you all updated.

Thank you all so much for the many, many prayers!

The good news on the last post was short lived.  Terry stopped talking again and really hasn't felt well this week.


However we did get some good news; the bone scan was normal and he had an MRI of his brain and it showed no change.

But we found out today he has a staph infection in his bladder. :(  Poor guy just can't catch a break!  It's no wonder he's felt so bad.  He's now on 2 antibiotics for the next 2 weeks.  We hope and pray they do the job or else he'll have to go in the hospital.

He hasn't been eating and drinking enough the last few days.  Hopefully that'll change as the antibiotics start to work.
