Dad is doing better today, at least compared to yesterday which was one of the worst days we've had in a while. They are continuing the IV antibiotics for the MRSA. The other test results showed nothing new, the set back is apparently from the colitis. They have Dad back on an all liquid diet; they think it might have been too soon to reintroduce solids. This seems to have calmed his stomach down a bit.
We think he is still scheduled for an additional Remicade treatment next Friday, maybe a second dose will do him some good. In the meantime they are monitoring him closely, keeping him on the steroids and colitis meds and trying to keep him s comfortable as possible.
My mom picked Tyler up from Kindergarten today and took him over to the hospital to see Papa. The visit should do them both good!
Dad appreciates everyone's thoughts and prayers, thank you all!
