Morning Update

Cautiously optimistic!🤞🏻 Labs are trending in the right direction. They are all still VERY elevated, but less elevated than yesterday. ❤️. He’s not in too much pain, and hasn't needed any pain meds since last night 😅.

Doc said he can carefully move onto some black decaf tea and soup broth (yum), and wait and see how he responds. If he responds ok, he can move onto some light solid food. Progress.

He's still nauseous, overall feels like total crap, very fatigued, sore, etc... understandably. But definitely some bursts of "normal Paul" (usually when his siblings are around ❤️ , I think the distraction helps). Side note — I definitely hit the sibling-in-law jackpot (including their better halves). They are all amazing.

His lipase (pancreatic bloodwork) was INSANE yesterday. They were supposed to be between 10-50.... They were 2,047! Today they are 197 ❤️. Still 4x what they should be, but definitely a huge improvement.

His liver enzymes are still high too though. But again, better than yesterday. They should be between 10-49, and they were 422 yesterday. Today they are 313. So still very high, but improving.

Thanks everyone. Update again soon.
