S T I L L in the ICU

Steve is still in the ICU. He continues to have issues with different things. One day his magnesium and phosphorus were low. The next day his sodium was low. Then his sodium levels shot up.

He had a swallow evaluation. He has difficulty swallowing liquids which is the probable cause of pneumonia. The Speech Therapist will be working with him to strengthen his swallowing.

This is a long slow process (understatement).
They hope to do the biopsy on Monday or Tuesday.


A big thank you to all who offered to and did do the midnight irrigation.
