Encouraging News

Mom just called and said that the liver surgeon (Dr. Kelly - she is one of Dad's favs) had been in. They have taken Dad off one of the medicines that causes several of the worst side-effects. They are moving him to the transplant floor (now that a bed is available). He will probably stay in the hospital until Thursday, however they are going to take him off the IV fluids and see how he does. I know this doesn't sound so great but they are finally keeping him long enough to figure all this out instead of rehydrating him and sending him home only to have him end up back at the hospital on IV fluids again.

Also his liver numbers are better so they will not be doing a biopsy at this time.
