Well we are back at Ann Arbor again, and have been for 6 days. Ralph was having intense side pain on the right upper abdomen and was getting weak. They had us come into clinic and after a full day of testing put Ralph back into the hospital. He was dehydrated, had a low red blood cell count, and they needed to find out about the pain. Yesterday they told us (after more tests) that it was his gallbladder that was the problem. No stones but full of sledge that was clogging the ducts and making it infected. They increased the antibiotics and were talking about whether to drain it with an inserted tube or to remove it. Ralph is no longer in pain and is starting to eat again so the have decided to keep up the antibiotics and see if it will continue to heal itself with out any invasive procedures. I am glad of that I wasn't looking forwards to having another nursing procedure taught to me. So, I think we are in here for one more day to see how every thing is coming along and hopefully home by Weds. night. I am again staying with Louise and Ken and am very comfortable there. What a blessing they have been for me.
May God continue to bless us all.
