thursday

thursday has been a pretty good day. of course there is never a dull moment and new things seem to happen each day. overall, michael had a decent night and today was ok. his cognitive abilities are continuing to improve a lot. his balance seemed to be better too. his vision is still off which is quite frustrating. today he did run a little bit of a fever off and on and felt a little weak. the newest drama is that tonight his head starting to ooze something from where some of the sutures were from his brain surgery. so now we've met a nice doctor from the infectious diseases department. he took a swab and it will be sent of to see was it is. the results could take a couple days which may impact when michael gets to come home. in the meantime they started him on some antibiotics to help fight off any infection it could be. it doesn't hurt him. michael is very anxious to come home so i hope this doesn't discouraged him too much. our oncologist also called me to let me know he is still trying to get in touch with our specialist to confer on further treatments. he actually stopped by tonight around 9:30 (just after i left and michael's dad took over the night shift) just to check on michael too. we hope to hear more from him tomorrow. that's all for tonight. i'm very tired and ready to try and sleep. please pray for michael's vision to clear, his spirits to be up, and the right time to come home. my God is big enough to take care of all of that and more!

love,
