still in hospital

Lachlan was transferred from the ICU at 2.30am this morning ! He is now on an oncology ward. Needless to say, he is exhausted from lack of sleep.
Apart from that he is doing well ... just on one antibiotic and heparin , no temperature, all vital signs are good. He had severe diarrhoea and they tested for C. Difficile but the culture came back negative so they finally gave him some medication and it worked immediately.
He had radiation this morning but has not been put back on the Chemo - 5FU.
He is scheduled to have an ERCP tomorrow. A tube will be put down his throat and they can look at the stents and probably remove the left one as the left lobe of the liver isn't working.
He is fed up with being in hospital and having a continual crowd of people coming to "do something" to him every fifteen minutes. He hopes that he can come home soon and continue the antibiotic at home.
