Kyle just texted me an update on Harvey and asked me to pass it along:

"Here is the latest on my pops. He is jaundiced but folks are optimistic. He has had more bloodwork done and we are awaiting the results. His liver is the worry now."

The Gilbert clan is still keeping Pops in out thoughts and prayers.

Sounds like he's improving a little more each day. I will continue to keep him and your family in my prayers. Keep the faith and stay positive. Hope to see you at Bloomington Friday!

Ok here is the latest news. very little change I guess He is still jaundice he is still undergoing dialysis 4hrs today. The Dr's seem to think that when he had his gall bladder out the Dr. may have nicked his liver. It could also be one of his liver ducts clogged? With all the infection they are having quite the time diserning what excatly is wrong. All I know is that he is the right place to get better now!!

OK here is the latest. I went up to see pop today he seemed alot more "happy"! He feels very optimistic about his care and where he is at now thats the good thing. He is less juandiced than when he was here. He is still on dialysis he is having a upper GI scope in the morning to look at his stomache they feel he may have a ulcer. They are going to check his liver ducts as well they feel they may be clogged.

OK!

Here is the latest on pop. He went in for a upper GI scope yesterday and had 4hrs of dialysis as well. While doing the scope the noticed a blockage in one of his liver ducts. They removed the blockage and all his relative test scores went the way there supposed to go. He finally slept all night last night which is good. Now we are on to getting the kidneys to fire back up then all is well. Yeah thats all just restart a 72 year old mans kidneys easy to do right.
