Well, it's been an interesting 2 days. Yesterday Abel went to the hospital for a scope. When they did the scope they found that he had been bleeding in his esophagus. They put a rubber band there to prevent the bleeding. His blood count was good this morning. He is staying in the hospital and they will transfer him Saturday morning to Dallas.I honestly suspect he will stay until his transplant is complete. Another good thing is that he is feeling well and in good spirits. He has had visitors each day. He has enjoyed the attention! :)
Dad is on the way from NC to meet us there in Dallas. It will be great to see him this weekend and I will turn things over to him so he can take care of my hubby. I honestly can't miss work to do it...as badly as I want to. I know dad will do a great job too.
Abel's 2 brothers are coming as well. They will be here on Tuesday. I am very excited about that. It will be great to see them and for them to see Abel as well.
Abel is down to 210 pounds. He has been losing weight but his stomach is/has been swelling. He has also been on a clear liquid diet here in the hospital. He has not been throwing up like before. This is a very good thing. Exciting things going on here. Oh the drama of dealing with doctors and insurance companies is always fun.....NOT!!! :) Part of life and we have to do it now. I will update as much as possible!!
