Friends, Just some quick follow-up:
Adam had a very good day today. A few concerns: His white cells are still up. All samples of blood, mucus, and whatever else they have drawn for cultures have comeback negative. They did find a blood clot in his left leg and will probably place some type of IV to catch it. They don't seem to be overly concerned about it. Some very good things: Adam's EEG came back normal. So there is evidence that at least one Tierney has a normal brain. Dave brought a MacBook to the hospital for Adam to use. Adam signed on to his AIM account, and text messaged some friends to their surprise. He struggled typing at first but it became easier. He tires quickly though and did not stay online long but he really enjoyed communicating with the outside world. They were able to finally fish a feeding tube past his stomach and into the small intestines. That means they can feed him without the problem of vomiting. He hasn't been able to keep food down in almost five days so he is great need of nourishment and will now be able to get it. His energy levels should start climbing. All of his numbers look good. He was very relaxed today. Please pray that there is no infection and that Adam's white blood cells will return to normal; that his blood clot will cause no harm and that they will be able to take care of it; that his energy level will grow; and for discernment in knowing what to do regarding the next time we go to rehab. Thanks for your prayers, Dave and Lisa Tierney ************** AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs. Search Now.
