Day "42"

Today was nothing but bladder irrigation and the breathing machine! Pretty exciting stuff! The urology docs will try to remove Jeff's catheter tomorrow and see what happens. He is still bleeding, but not constantly. As for his lung, the pulmonary doc said that he did not want to remove anymore fluid until they figured out where the fluid was coming from--otherwise it would just fill up again. He was going to go over the results of the CT scan with another doctor and wait for some more lab results. And...I forgot to tell you yesterday that I noticed quite a bit of fuzz on Jeff's head! His hair is already growing back! It will be interesting to see what color it is!
