The last few days have required a lot of patience. There have been numerous tests, scans and needle pokes for Jim. Today they put a pic line in because the poor guy was running out of places to draw blood. It will be a lot more comfortable for him. They did confirm a new pneumonia in his lungs that is being treated with high dose antibiotics. Kidneys improved a little bit in the last 24 hours and they do not see a need for dialysis at this time.

Jim is having "Happy Hour" right now as he has to drink 2 large bottles of barium for a CT scan at 5PM. He has had a lot of pain in his abdomen the last few days, so they need to make sure there are no other underlying issues.

Please pray for the kidneys to keep improving and that the CT scan is clear.
Also thanks to everyone who has offered help. I will definitely need it in the very near future.

God Bless
