Gene was alert this morning. He had a little fever last night and they discovered that his infection could be traced to his PIC line. They started giving him an antibiotic. They also discovered that his blood counts were low as well, so this afternoon he got two units of blood.
Dr. McGill indicated that it is very common for a PIC line or a tracheotomy to become infected.
When Emily was there this afternoon she spent some time taking care of his fingernails and toenails. She also washed his face and his feet. She is very attentive to his needs and to advocating for him with the caregivers.
Emily is planning to go her PEO book club tomorrow. She joined PEO when she first moved to Chattanooga, and it's been a really good group for her to be involved with. Her sister Frances has been involved with the group for many years, and her sister Joyce is now involved with a chapter in Knoxville as well.
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Gene to have healing and strength to face the hurdles ahead. Pray for both Emily and Gene to have peace.
