Updates

Sometimes I forget that some of you who don't see Jeff everyday might need some more description on how well he has improved. First of all he is no longer using a wheelchair and has not for sometime!!! His fluid retention is still there, but on most days it is much better. He is physically able to do much more than he was. Also he drives the care on occasions and runs errands by himself and can carry in groceries (if they aren't overly heavy). Also he is completely off all of his oxycodone along with about half of his medicine.
Another update: we are going to see Dr. James Hamilton Friday morning. He is a surgeon with Tallgrass Surgical Center in Topeka. Dr. Tim hooked us up with him. We are going to talk to him about finding out where the fluid in Jeff's abdominal area is coming from and what possibilities there might be in closing up his wound. We are hopeful that there will be some options, but trying not to get too excited. I am attending a lecture tomorrow nite about nanoscience and some up and coming treatments.
Hope all is well with everyone!!
