Hank Update #4

The doctor just came in and confirmed what the nurses said. His platelets have dropped from 80 to 60 so they want to make sure that doesn't continue to drop but they don't seem too overly concerned about that. I mentioned that Hank's face looks a little puffy and he said that is normal considering his kidneys are only functioning about 40%. He needs to keep drinking lots of fluid and is off all the IV's right now. The other issue is his e.coli test. He can't leave his room until they get the results from that test and it won't be in until tomorrow. He really wants to go down to the cafeteria but can't for now so good thing he has room service. He ordered nuggets for breakfast and is playing Simpsons Road Rage with Randy and loving life.

That's all for now. He loves having visitors, just make sure you aren't sick! I love having visitors too!

Annie, I am so happy for all of this GREAT news!!! It sounds like Hank is loving all the time he is getting to spend with the both of you. Hope he continues to progress, and will be home soon. I would love to help in any way, please let me know what I can do.

Oh man....that sucks he can't go down to the Rainbow Cafe...that place is so cool.

I'm sure you're all going a bit nutty in that room....anything I can bring any of you?

Jack, Brett, and I were all going to come up again today...but Jack woke up with a case of the sniffles...probably nothing serious...but don't want to risk it.

Tried to call you just barely... call me back when you get a sec!

Love!

Nuggets for breakfast?! He might never want to leave... I can't even imagine his little face being puffy... poor thing. Glad he seems to be taking little steps to get better, every little bit counts.
