March 14, 2009
Hi! Today was about the same. The dialysis wipes him out so he slept most of the day. Also he had to get another cat scan so they have to give him medication to keep him still and that made him sleep. He still has a mild fever and the doctors are not sure where it is coming from but the cat scan should tell us. We wont find out more till tomorrow because doctors are scarce on Saturday nights. We are worried that it could be a new infection in the fluid around his lungs but I hope not. It will just be more stress on his body. They have taken a good amount of the fluid off of him so he is starting to look better, and the tube feeding is putting some more weight on him. He had a few visitors today and that really helps to boost his spirit. All is steady at this point so we will see how tomorrow goes. Thank you all and good night!

Hi Andrea. Paul and I were two of his visitors today (around noon). Sorry to have missed you. It was so good to see him. I was so happy to see how alert he was, how eager he was to communicate. I felt I let him down a bit, as I'm a terrible lip reader, but Paul helped and we did pretty well. The best part was how expressive he was with his eyes. Steve, through and through. His eyes shine with such energy and amazing spirit. I told him I was sorry I didn't understand some of the things he was tryig to convey, and he rolled his eyes like he understood, and smiled. It wasn't the most productive conversation I've ever had with steve, but certainly one of the finest.
