Update on Mike

Today the infectious disease doctor came in and informed us that Mike will be staying in the hospital until they can fully determine what he has in his blood. They should have results of more blood cultures by tomorrow. Mike had a high fever again last night and did not sleep much so he is pretty beat. The doctors said they could not believe he walk into the hospital like he did when he was admitted. Usually people this sick cannot walk and are very lethargic. But, Mike is very strong and so he is holding tuff with all this. 

They said he is responding well to the IV antibiotics and if all goes well tomorrow with his diagnosis they may let him come home soon.

Alex and I miss him. We shopped and are cleaning the house to get ready for him to return home. The dogs are desperate for their Dad! It is hard to be home knowing he is back in the hospital but we are OK and visiting him often.

Amy came over to see him at the hospital and made him laugh and it really cheered him up. We are all resting and waiting to see what tomorrow brings.
