Hank Update #6

Dr. Grisnell came in this morning and delivered more of the same news. We have to wait at least one more day for more tests on the e. coli situation. I'm pretty annoyed about that. I know they have their reasons but man, it would be great if he could step outside this room for a few minutes. The nurse got in trouble for letting him go outside last night.

Some other new info is that he needs to limit the phosphorus intake and he can do that by taking tums with his meals and avoiding foods really high in phosphorus like chocolate. His updated list of foods he can't eat are, potatoes, dark sodas, melons, bananas, gatorade and chocolate. Everything else is holding pretty steady but no real improvements yet. Good thing he has such great visitors coming up and keeping him entertained. I am grateful things are not getting worse at least. He has been chugging the water today which is most excellent. Such a good boy.

He wins.
Best sport EVER.

(you and Randy are a close 2nd!)

Wish I could spend more time with him! Maybe I'll buy a plane to commute from Lehi to Primary's.

love the cousin pictures.... love that he is playing kick ball in his hospital room... love your mom's outfit, of course... but what I love the most is Max eating those Cheetos... the two greatest little faces ever.

Also can you imagine no chocolate?! I would die...I am pretty sure you would too...
