Continuing To Improve!

Saturday August 3, 2013 Day 99

Scotty continued to improve today. Deborah spent the day with him and they had a good day. They moved him to the 4th floor room 4920. He has been able to get up for brief periods to use the restroom and his oxygen is on 4. If you recall he was on 3 when he was dismissed from the hospital on his last episode. Dr. Sumrall explained to them that the cancer and hepatitis C will cause the reoccurring  episodes of pneumonia. But the good thing is Scotty seems to respond well to the antibiotics. So we are now on the road to recovering from this episode. He will have another test on Monday making sure his food and liquids are going where they are suppose to go and not into his lungs. As of now we do not have any idea when he will be released.

Deborah will stay home Sunday and go out to her school and work in her classroom. She has some colleagues and parent helpers coming Monday to help her finish what she doesn't get done. This is a big help and will be such a relief for her.

Please continue to keep Deborah, Scotty, and Noah in your prayers !
