Tuesday January 3rd , 6:15

Sorry I am late with a blog...things aren't happening as fast now and so there is not as much to report ...and I am in Lafayette and have to call the nurses or Mama to get specifics, so your patience with me is appreciated. Libby and I will be going back tomorrow morning to stay until Friday. Papa had a CT scan done of his chest, pelvis and abdomen today. Will receive a report from Dr. in the morning, but the nurse said ,according to Dr. Townsend, it looked good. White cell count is elevated again from 26 to 28, so they did a culture of blood and urine and will have results after 24 hours. This will tell them which specific bacteria is not being treated with the antibiotics he is already on. He is still on CRRT dialysis machine. They have increased his tube feeding. His blood pressure is fine and he is still on his oxygen mask and breathing well. Thanks for your continued prayers. We are overwhelmed by your concern and generous support. Steven and Grandmother are being well cared for by Aunt Née, Libby and family and my family. Love to everyone following Papa's progress,
Mary Ellen (Lala)
