the latest...

Sorry it's been so long for an update.. there's just not been a whole lot of changes. just recovering. I think he's feeling better..Praise GOD! Yesterday(Monday) he didn't feel very energetic(slept most of the day). But he walked more than he had so far.

Today (Tuesday).. feeling pretty good. got up earlier this morning and walked as much as he did yesterday if not more. The dr. started him on clear liquids today! We are excited except the fact he can't stand the broth that they are bringing him. But so far he's not had any problems with the popsicles, juice, jello, and coffee that he's had. Kip took him some wonton soup with no wontons and no onions.

If all goes well, it will be full liquids tomorrow. the dr. seems pleased with the way everything is looking---his drain, the incision, his color. he said his blood was up a couple of decimals but it's still low. he said he won't draw any tomorrow cause that has an effect on the count. he said it can still go either way.(such as whether he will need more or not). he prefers not to have to give him any more.

i took chase and amber up there last night. amber "the hot mess that she is" had him in pain laughing. he was nearly in tears...but couldn't help but to laugh at her silly self. she kept saying it was good for the muscles! i finally had to take our crack head children home. LOL They and Shelb enjoyed their visit.

Overall, Shelby is doing good! I would say great, but I don't want to put words in his mouth. We are waiting on the pathology report to come back from the whole mass that Dr. Burrowes sent off. Keep praying that it comes back with no signs of cancer!

If you call, please call his cell phone, he can't get to the room phone(and it has lots of loose parts inside).

P.S. Joel, You are allowed to go visit or call anytime! Thanks :)
