Hi All,
An update to my post from last night. Dad was stable through the night. The CAT scan showed that the mucus his lung is generated once again plugged up his breathing tube and caused his blood pressure to drop/blood count to be lower. The good news is there is no bleeding internally. The so/so news is that they aren't sure why his lung is producing so much mucus or when it might slow down.
There are lots of "they mights" this morning such as take him off the breathing tube, remove him from the dialysis, etc. But it just depends on him remaining stable and his body cooperating.
Mom said he was calm this morning and able to write her notes and one thing he wants is a hot bath! Hopefully he will be able to remain calm and get some rest as we know that will definitely help in the long run.
I hope to have greater updates today with news of progress, but I'd rather they take it slow than risk more setbacks, so we'll just have to see.
That's all for now
Haverly

OK...this message is for Dean:
Hey there friend...you are such a remarkable warrior in this battle for your well-being. I can't imagine how fatigued you must be with all the prodding, poking, procedures...I'm sure you don't need it, but what a practice in patience this is!
I hope it's as reassuring to you as it is to me as the reader of updates about you that you are surrounded by love, and competence in support of your recovery.
In this marathon that is your rebirthing as a better breathing, better circulating being, there is much to be grateful for as you complete each day, one more day in the process of healing.
You were here, with us, one year ago today (can you believe it?) and I hope you can feel me/us with you now.....and we're not going anywhere!!!
Sending you love, golden light, and my mother's spirit (I tell her daily to go be with you and do what she can!) to support you and your resolve with each day's new challenges....
Dean,
We have been keeping up with you everyday. Much love to you and the family.
Mary Jane and Bubba
