Dave's white blood count is 15,600, coming down again, PTL! Dave only had 5 breathing episodes today, another improvement from yesterday. :) Dave went outside for the second time! It sprinkled a little on him, but I think he appreciated the opportunity to be outside enjoying God's creation. He was out of bed, sitting in the wheelchair and also the recliner, for a total of 6 hours today, another big step! The bile draining into Dave's 2 tubes has slowed down a lot. Dr Jawa said theoretically this is a good thing, however, it has probably slowed too fast for it to have healed so they are going to do a CT scan on Friday to take a look at his abdomen again. Although, we know that we serve a mighty God and Dave's bile duct may well have healed that quickly.
