Going down hill...that is what the cardiologist has to say early this morning. Apparently, Gerald had a few since yesterday. His temperature hasn't gone down even they gave him two kinds of fever medicine. His recovery keeps changing from poor to good and then going back from good to poor for quite sometimes. According to the cardiologist, Gerald is not improving at all. I thought he was improving, I guess he was not.
Today, he is going to have a CT scan and later might have the heart catheterization. Since he has fever since yesterday they might delay the heart cath until his fever is totally over. The infection keeps coming back. I don't know if the same infection but it totally using Gerald's body and that is why Gerald is sometime he feels better and sometime he feels weak and worse.
The cardiologist talks about the worse posibilitiies of getting another surgery to scrap off teh infection in GJ's sternum, if the infection is really growing in his sternum they might cut off some but part of his bone and replace with (hmmm I forgot what kind of tissue he was talking about), anyway they have to do the best for my son. It is getting uglier this time and we are just so worried now. We got a lot of going on in our family. Six weeks from now I am going to have my second baby (which is exciting), but I hope Gerald is out of the hospital. Another, my father-in-law is very sick too and we are just not in a better situation of losing strength here. We have to stronger all the time.
To all my friends here, please pray for all of us and most especially for Gerald and his grandpa.
