Nov. 6-Back in the Saddle Again

It's time to play good news/bad news.
Bad news first. A minor setback. Troy went in for dialysis yesterday, and the staff there noticed that he was running a fever, which is an indicator of infection. He went in to the emergency room, and at 3:30 in the morning, he was admitted back into the 5th floor of NGHS. The blood culture came back positive for infection, at the 48 hours point, we'll know exactly where the bad stuff is. Fingers crossed, he'll be able to go home Wednesday afternoon. (Troy's mom and I started counting the number of rooms that he's been in. I think he's up to nine different rooms since the end of July. )
Good news time! (Yay!) Troy's voice is sooooo much stronger. To me, he sounds 99% back to normal. He's also getting feisty again, and definitely wants to get back home and out of the hospital.
Thanks again for all of the positive thoughts and good energy.
