Yesterday afternoon Mac had his chest and abdomen drained of fluid. They left a drainage tube in his chest so it can continue to drain today. Unfortunately, the abdomen is filling up again. His breathing is easier because his lungs are clear. Today they are waiting to see what happens. They may have to drain his abdomen again tomorrow. The GI doctor thinks alot of this can be explained by C Diff. We're still waiting for results from the nephrologist because it could be kidney issues. He is still having fever. The early results of the fluid studies do not show bacteria. It's good to keep ruling things out, but it's also frustrating to not know what's going on. Please pray that God guides the doctors through this puzzle to bring Mac comfort, relief and healing. More later...
