Doctors didn't find anything in the CT scans of his brain. There is no bacteria in his lungs or blood, no fever, and his heart is operating well. The only part of him that isn't doing well is his kidneys, but one of the doctors said that because he is young, his kidneys will recover gradually.

They have to do dialysis tonight and give him his Ribavirin treatment. The tube is still in him...i'm not sure when they are planning on taking it out. I think they want to flush out some fluids in his body first because there is too much. I am happy that he is getting better by the day, but wish they could remove the tube. He wrote on a piece of paper today that he wanted coke and water, but he can't have that until they take the tube out. =( my heart goes out to my brother... i can't even begin to imagine the pain he has endured thus far.

i miss him. i hope the tube is out by the time i see him again.
