Saturday, March 19

Thankfully, it has been awhile since we have updated the blog! Earlier this week Dave came down with a cold and then on Thursday he had flu like symptoms. We didn't think too much of it until early Saturday morning when he appeared jaundiced. His family doctor sent him on to his old stomping grounds; UNMC in Omaha. After testing at UNMC, they have found that Dave's white blood count is high, indicating an infection and his liver counts are elevated as well. An ultrasound indicates that the bile duct is probably at least partially blocked. It is difficult to determine as the bile duct is already compromised from his previous injuries. Dave is going to start on antibiotics and will have an MRI tonight. The MRI will be read tomorrow and a decision will be made at that time as to what the next step will be. They have said surgery may be a possibility. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, peace for our family, and comfort for Dave.
