They removed his catheter but still no word on release...

That is a very good move.

As a catheter may invite an infection, no doubt they want to insure that no bladder or kidney infection is occurring.

My prayers.

I am so grateful that you have recovered.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on your servants.

Last doctors report was that I should live another 30 years.

That's a lot better than the "one to two" they gave me right after!

Forgive me...

Another 13 hours at the hospital~minor setback this morning when he vomited what little bit he had eaten. He's still on a clear liquid diet; I think we could bring him home and nurse him the rest of the way, especially from the diet end but they have their rules.

Hardest day so far~incision & appetite all good but he's having bladder-emptying problem...twice tried to shove the catheter tube back in to drain but came up empty though scanner said there was 750ml in there...he was letting the whole hospital know that it hurt. He's able to pee about 250ml at a time and is not in any pain; urologist in tomorrow. It took a few attempts to put in a new IV. He gets so tensed up and upset that it makes the job more difficult.

There is hardly anything (2ml last 8 hours) draining from the appendectomy site. I get the impression from the surgeon that he might go ahead and send us out under the care of the urologist...least I'm hoping...This was Day 8 :(

I hope the situation resolves, and that you can take your little boy home and nurse him to health with good home cooking and loving care.

Lord Jesus Christ have mercy.

The urologist said it sounds like he had a preexisting condition and doesn't want to do anything till Titus has recovered from surgery...just waiting for the surgeon to let him go home...he's doing great, eating and getting around. I was there 6 hours and doc didn't show up; I'll be headed back over shortly.

:( I'm so sorry, Jim. I know the agony parents go through seeing and experiencing their children in the hospital, and especially for long periods of time. :hug:

My continued prayers for Titus and you and your wife. :crosseo:

I'm glad to read that he's keeping food down and is doing great. Thank God.
