Sorry for the late entry, thank you for your faithfulness in checking the blog and keeping Dave in your prayers. We believe prayer changes things! :)
Dave's white blood count is down to 27,800! His temperature is 98.8!!! Dave was able to take a wheelchair ride outside today and enjoy God's creation for 15 minutes! He was refreshed and definitely worn out after the trip. No ST or OT today as Dave was tuckered out. Dave went down to Interventional Radiology (IR) to make sure his tubes are draining properly. They decided one more tube could come out! Dave started SLED again today, they are hoping they will be able to leave him on dialysis for 24 hours, taking him off sometime on Friday. They still have not put in a new catheter to replace the infected PICC line. They new plan is after dialysis on Friday they will take out the dialysis port, and thus the piggyback line Dave was getting his IV nutrition through. Dave will not have dialysis on Saturday or Sunday giving his body a chance to heal and get rid of any infections, especially the urine infection. On Monday they will place a new dialysis port and a separate new catheter for IV use. Dave didn't get any "food" all day until 8:30pm because he was feeling very full. He started getting 10 cc/hr and was able to tolerate this as of 1:00am. Please pray Dave will be able to digest the food put in his gastric tube.

My husband and I used to work with Dave at Hy-vee. We just found out about his accident today. He is a wonderful person and we will be thinking of him everyday and hope for a quick recovery.
