Last word I got from Amanda is that he's drugged up and totally out of it and being moved to the LSU Med Center. He was discharged WAY to early from the other hospital... I talked to him not to long ago and he was able to get up and walk about some and shower himself and was optomistic. When he started going downhill, it was apparently a fast slide and Kathy is mighty scared... He's a fighter though; I'm not counting him out just yet!

Latest word is that the pneumonia was created by fluids leaking into his lungs via the fistula in his neck. Nothing they can do about that until the fistula is closed. High dosages of antibiotics are gettting pumped into him to help fight off the bacteria in the lungs and he's been allowed to wet his mouth with ice chips, but that's all. The doctors at LSU Med Ctr tell Kathy that he's past the worst of it and they ought to be able to send him home with continued IVs in a few more days! Great news!!! Praise God, the ol' feller ain't done fighting!!!
