At 2 pm, my parents had a meeting with the doctor and here is the latest news on why he may still be having fevers:
- They found some bacteria in his colon, and last night they started giving him antibiotics specificially for that, and if that is what's causing the fevers, we should expect to see results in 24-48 hours.
- There is a digestive enzyme inside the gall bladder that may be infected, and it could migrate into the liver, but i think they are going to wait to see if he gets better from the antibiotics for his colon before they treat this.
- There is a possibility that there is bacteria growing in the peripheral lining of all the tubes in his body.
The good news is that they have located some bacteria that can be treated, that he doesn't have an infection in his lungs, and that he is relying on less oxygen (40%). His kidneys, however, aren't functioning as they would like them to, and that may be due to his low blood pressure.
So now it's just a matter of more waiting.
KEEP PRAYING!!
