The cause of the fever has not yet been determined.  New antibiotics have begun and yesterday Louie had a CT scan to check the appearance of the bowel. There is some leakage, however,we hope this has nothing to do with the intestines or anything major but rather may have another origin.  Dr. Saggi ordered a wound vac to draw out the fluid. The CT scan I believe showed nothing negative but was inconclusive. Today he went to Nuclear  Medicine for a HIDA scan.  This lasts for an hour in a tube like apparatus. . Louie was wrapped up in this velcro binder thing which made him feel in his words like a "burrito". Not fun, but done.
We will keep you posted if we find out anything.  Dr. Saggi has surgery now and a transplant later so it is a busy day for him . He is really fabulous and takes good care of Louie. Our prayer now is for the bowel to be doing well and the leaking to be a fixable issue.

    Lord I pray, I watched as you Lord moved to save this soul in answer to the faith and prayers from of his family and community. I ask you Lord, please don't stop now, let this mans life be a symbol to the faithful of your power and grace. Lord please, you let us see him walk his daughters down the aisle of your church to meet their new husbands, please give this faithful man the time and strength to hold new grandchildren in his arms and see them brought in to your church.
