Up, down, up, down, up, down. Such is the hospital life.
Based on the vibes of the doctors, we've been excited lately about Sam's progress. He has been feeling much better, has started working a little and has been feeling much more like himself. He's still in the hospital (today is day 54 of this stretch...) but the team had been talking about trying to get him out of here by the end of the week. Unfortunately, today the docs finally said that the fact that the bleeding in Sam's GI tract hasn't stopped is an issue. They said Sam seems to have hit a plateau that doesn't follow the normal course of healing for his condition. Because of this, he'll have another long day of tests tomorrow to try and figure out what’s going on and assess whether his gut is continuing to heal or if we need to find new treatment options. We're bummed that he has to undergo these tests again and the stress of waiting for the results and for them to decide if they have the ability to do anything about the problems. But, we know we're playing the long game on this one and will continue to plug away at this until he is better. We appreciate the vibes and love every day. I'll keep you guys posted once we find out more.
