It's Sunday. What better way to spend it than going back to the hospital? We would prefer spending the day going to church and worshiping with friends, but oh well ...
We got a phone call around 1 am this morning from the doctor. Mitch's blood culture showed some growth so they wanted us immediately to get to the hospital for some IV antibiotics. We were at the hospital until shortly after 3 am. The antibiotics were completely infused and they said, "Everything looks fine. You can go home."
We were scheduled for regular lab work & followup at the clinic this morning at 11 am but the triage nurse called us by 9:30 am to come in sooner. Once there, they found Mitch had started to run a fever so they decided he needed to be watched in the hospital. There doesn't seem to be any panic. They just want to watch him more closely than the past few days.
His scheduled bone marrow biopsy will be done tomorrow while he is in the hospital. We don't know how long he will be held here, but are hoping for a short stint this time.
Please continue to pray for clean marrow (both tomorrow and next Monday); quick recovery from whatever is infecting him right now; and God's healing touch overall. Even tho' we are trusting the doctors to make the right decisions, we know it is actually the Lord who is overseeing all the treatment. Thanks for your prayers.
