Update on John, he had a temp up to 102 degrees, but it has now been under 100 for a few days. They did many cultures & couldn't find source of infection that might've 'caused temp. Regular dialysis was too hard on his body every other day, so he's on a "slower" dialysis non-stop & is tolerating it. Gall Bladder & Liver are better, but spleen is not working. One of his amputations is not as good as they hoped & the may need to take more of "both" legs. His blood pressure is low. He started opening his eyes a couple times, but they upped his pain medicine 'cuz they think he's in more pain so he's still medically unconscious. They're talking about replacing oxygen with a trach which "might" be easier on him since it's been over 2 weeks on oxygen.
I'm still trying to be as hopeful as his fiance that he'll live thru' all this & eventually accept & deal with his amputations. She loves him so much & keeps saying "he CAN'T die". I just don't know if John will want to live like this & remind her to "let him decide" to stay or go. I also say to her........"is it better to have loved & lost, than to never have loved at all". I'm worried she's setting herself up to never get thru' "if" he decides not to stay.
As for me, still no job - but I do have my health.
