Back in the Hospital

Well...I'm back in the hospital again. After my ER trip this Sunday my pain returned and was nearly as great as it had been on Sunday on Tuesday. When I arrived for my Chemo visit my temperature was 100.2. Dr. McElveen met with me and said he wanted to admit me. I told him that the drain had stopped and my thought was that the drainage might be building up somewhere inside my belly causing the pain. "Dr. Mac" thought it might be peritenitis. I went to the hospital and the CT Scan was repeated. It was the same as the one done last Friday, so the drainage really had stopped. I think the pain is from the pressure inside the pancreas. Today I am pain free. I will have my Chemo session here while still admitted.
I got to see many of the folks that have been hard at work praying for me and I need to apologize for not mentioning the folks in the EKG and Echo departments. These guys have done so much for me personally and for my family and I don't want their contributions to go unrecognized. Thank you!!!!
I go home tomorrow. I hope that my next trip here will be for visiting - not as a patient. I do hope that my drain will be removed soon and I will be able to return to work soon. Thank you all for your prayers. God bless each and everyone of you.

Your brother in Christ,
Mack
