I thought that a short update was in order after the last couple of days. I thought that we were well on our way to recovery. As many of you know Natalie and Riley Waddups were married in Honolulu last week. Ann and I went over and spent a week. I did pretty well while there, but the flight home and the couple of days that followed were pretty brutal. On Tuesday we went to the doctor and asked specifically for something to be done about the fluid buildup.
Yesterday, we went to the American Fork clinic and they drained 3 liters of fluid from my abdomen. (There goes another six pounds). I felt like I have give birth to a six pound baby. To say the least, the pressure is gone and I fell pretty well today. They will test the fluid and see if there is a way to keep it from coming back. I have been put on a medication which should help. For now, I have got some of my appetite back and hopefully I can begin to put some weight back on.
Thank you for those of you who have call and expressed your best wishes. I am hopeful we are at the end of this journey.
With love, Mike
