WELL, LARRY WAS TO BE RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL YESTERDAY, (THE 9TH), I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO HEAD TO THE HOSPITAL TO BRING HIM HOME, AND I GOT A PHONE CALL TELLING ME THINGS HAVE CHANGED FOR THE WORSE, AND HE WOULD NOT BE COMING HOME YET. SO, I WENT UP, AND WAS TOLD HIS BLOOD PRESSURE HAD TAKEN A VERY LOW PLUNGE. IT WAS 70/40. THEY CANT GET HIS BP BACK UP TO NORMAL. HE IS SO WEAK, TALKING OUT OF HIS HEAD, HE CANT URINATE OR HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO. HE IS VERY DEHYDRATED. THEY ARE PUMPING ALOT OF FLUIDS IN HIM. HIS STOMACH IS SO SWOLLEN AND IS IN ALOT OF PAIN. HIS FEET & LEGS ARE SWOLLEN AGAIN, NOT ONLY THE LOWER LEGS, BUT THE UPPER PART OF HIS LEGS AND HIS HANDS. THEY TOOK HIM DOWN FOR MORE TEST YESTERDAY AND X-RAYS. HIS STOMACH IS SO SWOLLEN BECAUSE OF THE GAS AND CANT HAVE A BOWL MOVEMENT. MAY STILL HAVE TO HAVE BOWEL SURGERY. I DONT KNOW YET. HE HAS THE SHAKES SO BAD,THEY HAVE HIM ON A CLEAR LIQUID DIET ALSO. I PRAY THEY CAN GET THINGS FIGURED OUT AND IM THINKING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, NEXT, HE WILL BE GETTING PNEUMONIA ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE.
I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON HOW HE IS DOING. PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS.

MORE COMPLICATIONS HAVE SET IN YESTERDAY (THE 10TH). THEY DID ANOTHER ULTRA SOUND ON HIS STOMACH. HE CANT URINATE ON HIS OWN SO THEY PUT A CATHETER IN. AND IS SICK TO HIS STOMACH, THROWING UP. HE WONT HAVE TO HAVE BOWEL SURGERY AS FAR AS THEY CAN TELL NOW!
THEY THINK HIS KIDNEYS & LIVER ARE DAMAGED FROM ALL THE MEDICATION HE HAS BEEN ON.
THE NEW CHEST X-RAY THEY DID YESTERDAY, SHOWED HE DID HAVE THE START OF PNEUMONIA. TODAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO A SCAN ON HIS GALLBLADDER. THINKING THIS IS WHY HE IS SO SICK TO HIS STOMACH, RUNNING A FEVER AND THROWING UP. SO MUCH GOING ON AND NOT REALLY KNOWING ANYTHING! ILL BE HEADING BACK TO THE HOSPITAL THIS MORNING (SATURDAY THE 11TH) TO BE THERE WHEN ALL THE DIFFERENT DOCTORS COME IN TO TELL US WHATS GOING ON OR WHAT THEY FOUND OUT. AND HOPING WHEN THEY DO THE GALLBLADDER SCAN TODAY THEY WILL KNOW SOMETHING. I KNOW I SOUND LIKE IM TALKING IN CIRCLES, AND YES, I AM VERY CONFUSED! AND WORRIED AND SCARED.
WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON WHAT ALL THEY FIND OUT AND WHAT ALL THEY DO.
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR LARRY.
LOVE TO ALL,
