Questions Answered?

The doctor went over my questions with Neal this morning. I am not sure they really got us anyplace. His fever has been gone for 12 hours now, so hopefully not infection. They are treating him with anti-fungal drugs just in case. Not much is going to change with his situation until he can pass gas and then start eating. They will not give him any coumadine (blood thinner) or take away his morphine pump until then. They did decrease his benadryl and give him a different medicine for itching. I guess it is just a waiting game now.

On the lighter side, Neal woke up the other day when Stacy, Toph and Herbeck were there and said (I apologize if you are offended) "All I have to do is crap and take a lap and I can go home". That pretty much sums it up!

He has been moved to private room 1018. He is having dialysis this morning. Visitors are welcome. He also has his cell phone if you want to contact him.

Hi Neal and Michele,
Keep doing those laps Neal! We can't wait to see you good enough to go home. Michele, we'd love to visit you sometime this week too or feel free to stop by anytime. Also, I'm more than happy to take a night shift at the hospital if you need a break. Talk to you soon! Ryan

Hey Neal,
It sounded like so much fun, Chris decided to give it a go on Wednesday. (I hope she has a "happy button" too).
You have to get better soon...the Zips are coming to town.

Good luck & get well soon,
