Time for an up-date, John went back in the hospital earlier in the week due to a blood infection. Potential for some kinda hospital staph thing is always there whenever any invasive procedure is undertaken. Good news tonight is that it isn't THAT. The dripper antibiotic he is on right now is no fun, but they now seem confident they got it pegged & are harnesing it with the right stuff. The long & short of it is that he is gonna be there a bit longer, probably, & total recovery may be a bit slower than originallly thot. He will be sent home as soon as they are comfortable w/ the progress, but any and all physical activity levels are gonna be limited for a while. Probably a month before they are willing to say that all the blood infection is killed and gone and the new artery installation sutures are healed tight like they want. No infection was found nor detected in that area. BTW, that's great news! The other thing is that it takes time for the tissue to grow back around the new vein.
He sounds normal as ever & his spirits are fine tho he was quick to remind me that he'd rather have a dif kinda spirit .. one that wouldn't mix real well with the dripper stuff;-)
