Update - 4-13-2012

Mike is not sleeping well. He coughs almost constantly at night. His state of consciousness is about the same and he isn't taking many calls. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

They have not decreased his oxygen. His lips started to turn blue when he went off for a little bit (I went down to the cafeteria to get him something and came back and he had it off) the Doc walked in and saw his lips were turning blue and put his oxygen back on and told him (and the nurses) DO NOT TAKE IT OFF!

The good news is his port is working. They are giving him some potassium today because that was low also. They are hitting him with three antibiotics as his white blood count is elevated. No signs of pneumonia, just plugging on the x-ray.

Mike is in pain and dosing on and off. We spoke with the Doc and she said he waited too long to come in this time. She said another day and he would have been taken to ICU. Lesson learned. There is no perfect scenario with CF  -  no routine. Things moved very quickly this time. We will keep you posted. That's all for now.

Blessings to you.
