November 19, 2009. Today was Jeremy's 9th day in the hospital and it was a great day! He had amazing nurses! He slept most of the day, he really needed to just sleep. Tonight he was able to walk around the floor, hasn't walked since he's been in there! White blood cell count is down to 16,000! His kidney function is low so they will keep an eye on that. Overall a good day:)

November 20, 2009. Crazy day today. Dr. said the good news is that the pneumonia in his right lung is looking better, bad news is that it has infultrated the left lung. Did an ultrasound on his liver, will get results tomorrow. Kidney Dr. said his kidneys are getting worse and may have to put him on temporary dialysis.

November 21, 2009. We saw five different Dr.s today, the Infectious disease Dr, Internal medicine Dr, Kidney Dr, Blood Dr and Surgeon . Jeremy's kidneys are getting worse, his platelets are high(not good)and his white blood count is up to 17,000. They changed his meds and took him off the nutritional iv to help the kidneys start working better. His liver sample started growing bacteria today and it is some kind of strep, they'll know more tomorrow. Jeremy has been in excruciating pain since he had the liver and appendix procedure on Tuesday and the only thing that helps him is dilaudid ever three hours, found out from the nurse that is 1000 times stronger than morphine! Yikes! Now for some good news...He went to have another drain put in his liver (he wasn't too thrilled about that), they go through his ribs and it is very painful. They had to drain the other abscesses and after doing a ct scan(with no contrast to hurt his kidneys)there were no other pockets to drain!!! Praise the Lord! They just had to flush the drain he had!:)

This morning, his best time of the day, Jeremy and I did 4 laps around the floor and he was singing the oldies song "'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around" Lol!!
Jeremy wanted to make sure that I tell everyone thank you for your thoughts and prayers! They mean so much to him, and me:)

Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
