    Hi All, George lost about 10 pound in the last two weeks in the hospital. Not really a problem, conserning his weight, he still 178 pound. The doc told me to give him ensure at nigh, because he need more protein.After that one bottle of ensure he is eating even less. So I don’t give him anymore. He is eating a little better since yesterday.Kate.

    Hi All, George still in the hospital, getting antibiotikum every day. He had a test for the spleen Friday, and after this test he started to be dizzy and he can’t walk alone now. We had to get him a walker. He got two unit of blood again.I am so frustrated. I was told I can’t change doctor when he is in the hospital.I don’t know if I should take him out, then he has to go every day for the antibiotikum treatment to the doctor’s office, that would be so trying for him.I just don’t know what to do???? Kate

    Hi All, George still in the hospital. They found an infection in the blood, from his groshon. He has to be a certain antibiotikum for 2 or 3 weeks, to try to save the groshon. If it doesn,t work, they will have to remove the groshon.He will get the treatments in the doctor’s office. He maybe able to come home tomorrow. Kidney, heart, lung is oke.This is the first day, that he feels better, he eats very well, so everything looks more hopefull. I hope , maybe tonight I can write more details, but again I have to go back to the hospital. Thank you all for caring. Kate
