Franks update >>>>> He is still in the hospital and will be for quite a while now.Maybe weeks or months were not sure Today he is being moved to a bigger better hospital about an hour away where hell still be in ICU till they feel hes better to do a lung t biopsy .He cant have it done yet till his body is easing up being so stressed from being so sick. There are 4 different things going on in his lungs right now They have to rule out lung cancer were all so worried of course..He has pneumonia too now they found markings in his lungs and nodules in the chest area on a CT scan and he had a lympth node that has grown since January of 2014 .Also a possible Pericardial Effusion to remove the fluid from around his heart . He has no temp. Hes just starting to eat a little bit today. His ulcer on his leg is already 90% better as it came from his legs being so swollen but it looks better. He has 5 Doctors working on his case right now. Primary Doctor, Pulmanologist, Cardiologist,Thoracic Surgeon and his Infectious Disease Doctor.. His blood sugars are high because hes on antibiotics,steroiods,blood thinners and water pills plus so much more . His spirits are good he gets very tired very easy its such a struggle for him to breath. Now hes on a BI-Pap machine all the time to help push more air into his lungs. He cant lay flat,sit up straight or hand his legs over the side of the bed. He can just lay there and have the head of his bed adjusted.thats all. I can give you more information tomorrow when I come home from the new hospital its about an hour each way . Im sorry i didnt write back,call back ,text back .But I have been going to the hospital and coming home and going to bed. My abscessed teeth are just starting to let up today a little bit as long as I dont eat or talk too much I am ok ( Like Im going to not talk too much forget that I barely come up for air ). ill keep you posted.. Please keep praying that he doesnt have lung cancer.or any other kind. All Prayers are welcomed. Thank you all ...
