Day 22

 

Hello, it's Jane and Joyse again.  Doug remains in ICU and will probably be there for a few more days.  He is alert, talkative, joking as usual and trying to charm all the nurses.  He is just very weak and not up to putting out the blog yet.  We are optimistic that a proper regimen has been put in place to improve his kidney and liver function, increase the strength of his heart and reduce fluids.  All are needed to get him back on track.  His medical team has indicated that the treatment in place should be successful.  He is receiving some powerful heart meds and is on temporary dialysis.   

 

He is, however, feeling a bit disconnected from his normal communication channels so if you would like to send him a message or note through text or email please do.  But do not expect a response.  His email address is dwheeless05@gmail.com.  Thank you for your prayers and support.
