What is up with all this?

Well, this week has already been an interesting week and we aren't even half-way thru it (ok, we are JUST half-way thru it).

Jerry is back in the hospital (at KU Med) as of yesterday afternoon. Not sure how long he will remain there this go around.

He went in yesterday morning for his 3rd biopsy, however, they determined that he was too dehydrated to perform the procedure. They admitted him to the hospital and immediately put him on fluids. He spent the evening there, and remains there as of Wednesday night for an undetermined period.

Today, he was up and around (but apparently, had a bad night). They were able to perform the biopsy though (THANK GOODNESS! sometihng is moving forward at last) as well as run a test on his throat. He has been very hoarse the past few days as well as complaing about sores in his mouth, so they wanted to check that out. They also ran an additional ultrasound on his liver and such just to check things out.

We are hoping we will still be able to get the results back from this biopsy by Friday to help determine what the heck is actually going on. They are all stumped and this waiting is brutal as he can't begin any type of treatment protocol until they determine what they are dealing with, as well as Jerry's strength needs to be up for the procedures (which at this point today, they are not).

Not much more to tell really.. he is pretty weak, but now that he's in hospital, they will keep him hydrated and get some food into his system to help build his strength back up. Mom and Dad are with him in KC and keeping everyone updated as well as keeping Jerry company.
