Still in ICU

So far, this is what I've heard today...They took Beau back to do a CT scan this morning and they are going to do a bronchoscopy at 2:00 pm. He does have some fluid around his lungs so he probably has pneumonia but I haven't heard that confirmed yet. They took out his port-a-cath completely and will have to replace that sometime before his next round of chemo. Jessica said all of his vitals were looking a bit better and his temp. was back down around 99. He is on tons of IV antibiotics and the critical care doc said that they will all kick in pretty soon and he will be on the mend. I'm not sure when he will get out of ICU...I don't know if they will just send him straight home from ICU when he improves or if they will insist on him being moved to a regular room, first. I will let you all know when I hear something new. Thanks for following along and keeping Beau in your thoughts and prayers!

Thank you so much for keeping us posted Maggie. I pray your mom & Jessica are able to get some rest today. Beau is a fighter and with God's help he'll get thru this. Praying and trusting. Luv, Aunt Denise & Uncle Jim
