Another low

Tim continues to stay in the hospital. He was starting to feel better and had a little bit of his sense of humor back. The thing keeping him in the hospital was his white blood cell count. It had continued to stay high. This is an indication of infection. He has been on 2 different very strong antibiotics every day and the numbers were still up. So today the dr ordered a scan of his belly to see what was going on. Results came back that he has abcesses in his abdomen. These are pockets of infected fluid through out his belly. This is the reason that it has taken him so long to recover from surgery. So tmorrow morning they will do a scan and put a big needle in his belly in several different places. He will be awake for this and I can only imagine that this will not be very comfortable. He has been through so much in the past few weeks and its like he can't catch a break. Hopefully after this he will start to feel better and will finally be able to come home. He will need to stay for a while longer in the hospital to make sure the infection clears. I miss having Tim at home. I have not stopped praying the whole time he has been in the hospital. Now I will continue with prayer. I know God is listening and will help him heal soon.
