Quick Update

Well, his chest x-ray was negative from last week, but he has a viral infection! Don't know if he over-did himself last week or what, fishing and then going to Elberta(did him a world of good to go to do both!)but he spent all day Wednesday in the BMT unit taking on lots of fluids! He was dehydrated, he doesn't drink enough,so they pumped fluids into him. They swabbed his throat and nose to do tests to see what was going on. The tests came back negative so they told him it was most likely a viral thing and to push fluids and I(and Kristina) am giving him Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours. He has coughed up alot so that leads me to believe the rattling sound the doctor heard was "something" but not big enough to see on the x-ray. So he stayed home and Kristina "nursed" him Thursday and Friday for me. God knows what he is doing because we needed her to stay close to home. He is taking care of us! He has had no fever, thank goodnes, or he would be in the hospital. So he is taking it easy and if you see him out next week, ask him if he has some water to drink. Tell him I put it on the blog! He is supposed to go to the pulmonary doctor this next week to see how his lungs are doing and to see if we still need the oxygen around. He has not been using it much at all! Please keep Rodney, Terry and Kristy in your prayers! Will update later this week! Love to all of you! Alyce
