For those of you who enjoy the ups and downs of roller coaster rides then read on...
Wally was admitted to the hospital today with what they believe to be an infection from his procedure on Friday. Last night he told me that he felt like he had the flu. He had a fever and flu-like symptoms and wasn't any better this morning. The doctors wanted him at the hospital right away to run some tests which showed his white blood cell count was elevated. They did another CT scan and an x-ray of his chest and more blood tests to determine what the cause of the infection was. We should have test results tomorrow when we talk with the surgeons. He feels absolutely fine now and looks good but they want to have him in the hospital for 24 hours without a fever so they are giving him antibiotics and fluids intravenously.
Unfortunately, this is another set-back for surgery. He will not be able to have surgery on Friday due to this "episode" so we are hopefully looking at Wednesday the 26th.
Please continue to pray for strength as the constant prolonging of the surgery and treatment is very draining on all of us. Pray for peace for all of us - we know that God can heal miraculously or through the physicians hands if that is His will. We are already watching little miracles happen all around us through Wally's illness and for that, we are thankful. You all have been such a help and encouragement during this difficult time in our family.
Until next time...
