Goin' fishin'

Craig’s feeling much better today -- he's actually taking a walk down the hall just as I type.  The doctors were in earlier, but had little in the way of new information.  At this point, all the tests have come back negative, so we’re now on to plan B, which is a full CT scan of his lungs, stomach and pelvis.  If the CT comes back negative, then they may consider a bone marrow biopsy, just to make sure he doesn’t have any growth in his bones.  And if that doesn’t work, well, then we’ll just have to chalk his fevers up to something of unknown origin.  He continues to have a fairly high fever, despite being on a hefty dose of antibiotics.  I have a sneaky suspicion that this may all be related to his cancer, but I suppose time will tell.  I’m off to Oklahoma tomorrow, and since C has been in the hospital all this time, E and I have yet to have our one-on-one training.  We’ll have to pass the torch blind, so to speak, and rely on C’s in-house nursing service to pick up the slack.  Still, C and I have developed a little system over the past months, and his meds have changed a bit.  I’m nervous about leaving C at the hospital and leaving E without at least one dry-run.  However, I also need to get back to Stillwater to reconnect with mom and dad, and help with her care.  I suppose we’ll wait to make any decisions until we know a little more about C’s condition.  And still, we wait… -- J
