Good Afternoon, There is good news and not so good news. I hope soon we only have good news. The bad news is Neil has a staph infection. The doctor is watching the culture to determine the exact type of staph and what medication is needed. He thinks this is from the PICC line and it has been pulled. Neil's veins are not what they were before the accident and it took several tries before they could get the IV going. They are going to start Neil on vancomycin and change this if necessary. The good news is Neil feels good. He does not have a temperature. He was in a wheelchair for a couple of hours and was able to do a brief tour of the hospital. He went down and met our friends at Chappy's and at the barbershop. He also checked out the SICU waiting room where we all stayed waiting to see him. The other good news is that Neil might be able to go to Health South Monday. (Again, we are not packing yet. )We cannot wait until tomorrow. Please pray for Neil's recovery.
Please continue to pray for Rebecca Edgar. She had to go back to CICU. We visited with her daughters and they are so optimistic.
Please pray for Rae Walker. We visited with her and she hopes to go home tonight or tomorrow.
Please continue to remember Sue in your prayers. Also, please pray for Shanna's full recovery and for Lily Grace to go home with her mom.
Our quote for the day. The doctor's physician assistant said that with Neil they do not go day by day, but rather Monday to Monday. Thanks so much for your love and support.
