Hospital Stay Day 1

So Alan has worked so hard to feel better today. He walked the floor numerous times and did exactly as instructed. This morning it was through incredible pain. By the evening, it wasn't near as severe.

The conclusion has been reached by his fabulous colorectal surgeon here at MHTW and us with what we have pieced together from MDA is that his bowel was either microperforated, scraped or punctured accidentally during his needle biopsy on Wed. 

Please pray that the IV antibiotics will clear all of the infection and he can start to feel better. Today was rough, but as my sister-in-love texted, "Tomorrow will be better."

Thank you for all the offers of help, the texts and calls checking on us, and the latte. This was not at all expected. But we make lemonade out of lemons, by enjoying time together. 

Oh and he can have his band back when he is released.
