Despite yesterday's drama, Torrey is much more alert today and has more energy.
He is very emotional, but seems to be getting a bit more logical.
He is still too weak to be able to write any messages, and it will likely take a bit longer to get him off of his breathing tube.
But he is doing his best to improve.
Medically, he still has raging infections that they are not sure how to pinpoint.
The CT Scan ruled out many conditions, so right now, everything is pointing to the gallbladder; but, it is very difficult for them to justify doing anything to the gallbladder w/o proper evidence as they still cannot see it.
His blood is still not clotting properly, so doing anything invasive is still very risky.
He is getting a break from dialysis today; they continue to have to give him meds to keep his blood pressure under control.
I'll be heading back to the hospital later this evening, and should have more info on some additional procedures that were ordered today to try to pinpoint the infections.
Regards,
Monica

Still praying for the three of you. Thank you for starting the blog. Monica, your parents said you were doing well and at first I wondered how you could do that, but then I only had to stop and think of the person you are. You are a strong and capable woman and I am proud of you. Your daughter is beautiful and kind and sweet. You are good and you are fruitful. You will get through this, one day at a time. I love you, I love Thalia, and I love Torrey. You are all wonderful people. May God be with you. Hugs to you, love cousin sara
Monica thank you for keeping us all updated. My mom has been forwarding your dad's emails but this is great because it lets me feel in the loop even when Mom gets my email address wrong. :-) I am sending happy and get well thoughts to Torrey, you and Thalia. Love, Jessica
I am very happy that things are going much better for Torrey. Reading this weekend's blogs has been really exciting news! It is great that Torrey is making such remarkable improvement. You are a very strong and loving person to be able to be there for Torrey every day. Please let us know when we can come visit again. I'll continue to send good thoughts and prayers your way.
