Update on Papa Paul

Today is great cause Papa took a walk down the hall and around the corner to the dialysis room in the hospital but then it is more than he has been able or willing to do. On Saturday they started treating Paul every six hours with an antibiotic I.V. Thursday and Friday they were giving him what they thought he needed. Then they read the lab results and told him he'll have to stay in the hospital for a while. The way Dr. Karen Harrison put it, "You're here for the long haul." She said the infection is a bad one and she wants it gone before Paul gets to come home. We do know that infection in the tubing is the biggest thing to worry about and want you all to be praying with us that the infection clears and that the Heart Dr. will let us know soon when Paul is strong enough to have his fistula done. The Dr.'s really want to wait for a full six months from heart attack and stent procedure to do any surgery but with the infections occuring they might not be able to wait that long.
