I'm sorry I haven't updated anything...and again I REALLY appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers...it's very comforting.
The took my dad off the ventilator and moved him out of ICU and into a regular room on Tuesday, although he did stil have chest tubes in and monitors and oxygen, ect...he was doing well and looked SO much better.
Unfortunately though, he had a very minor heart attack, so they gave him
a CAT scan and are going to do a heart catherization later today. If they see any damage, they are going to put in a stint.
We still don't know the results of any of the biopsies, but infectious diseases has been following him because they determined the infection in his lung was from a severe form of strep. They put in a pic line and he will have to be on IV antibiotics for 3 weeks. We had thought he might be able to come home Saturday, but with the heart problem, now we don't know. Depends on what the catherization shows.
On the bright side, he is getting excellent care and feels much better and isn't having any pain or anything. Which is all good. My sister (the nurse) said all indications are that the heart attack was very very mild and she says she is not worried, so hopefully all will go well today.
Really and truly, I greatly appreciate everyone's support and I will update again when I can.
