I have two turns to report to you today... Chris has taken a turn for the better although he is only eating a 1/4 of what he usually eats. When I work late he fixes himself a Lipton rice side (which is enough for two) and some Purdue frozen bourbon chicken (found at Costco). He will usually eat almost all of it in one sitting but yesterday he made 3 meals out of it. His stomach definitely shrunk during this whole sick thing. He is at work today and feeling much better so thank you for all your prayers.
The turn for the worse I have to report is about Mr. Hood. He had a great weekend and seemed like the antibiotic was helping but yesterday morning Martha Sue got to the hospital and they were putting a low dose of intravenous chemo into his IV. She didn't know what was going on. She talked to the hematologist (Doctor specializing in blood) and he was running some extensive tests to determine why he had contracted this type of colitis that he is being treated for. Most patients who have this rare form of colitis usually get it from cancer treatments. This news is not so good. They are considering Mr. Hood possibly having lymphoma which is a cancer that affects the lymph nodes. They will know more this afternoon as to the final diagnosis. Please continue to pray for him and for the medical team as well as Martha Sue who has pretty much moved in at CMC-Main.
