Dr came in.. All tests on Joes pancreas were normal. His kidneys are also functioning well. He has multiple small kidney stones but not anything that will cause him any problems. They think he passed a larger stone the other night which is what landed us in the ER. Now for the lung issue.. Infectious disease dr is still running tests for proof of pnemonia. The fluid in his lung is too small of an amount to tap with a radiographic guided needle.. So, they are consulting with a lung specialist to see joe and review his past and present scans. If he thinks it is just pnemonia then we will do a few more days of Iv antibiotics and then go home on oral antibiotics. If he is suspicious that there is a possibility this is cancer than he will do a procedure that will allow him to go down into joes lung and grab a small piece of this area for a biopsy! Joe is feeling very good and is ready to go home!!! Thank you all for the prayers and support!
