Bli ayin hora there is good news today. After a very rough 2 days Elis fever is IYH gone for good and he is off both blood pressure IVs. They were also able to remove the machine they had up his right arm artery to check his blood pressure constantly which was very painful and uncomfortable the whole time for Eli. The cultures are also showing what the DRs feel that they are getting the upper hand on the infection.

Eli is currently still in the ICU and will remain there tonight for observation to make sure he stays stable on the fever and blood pressure monitors. They hope to move Eli to a regular room sometime Monday. They will then decide how much longer they feel he needs to stay in the hospital. The hard part now is that the antibiotics has been harsh on Elis stomach and even though he hasn’t eaten or gotten TPN since coming to the hospital he is having extreme diarrhea 2-3X an hour. BH he is back as of tonight on TPN and hopefully it will help settle things and get Elis weight back on track.

Hoping to continue only having good news but as always please keep Elimelech Ben Basya in all your tefilos.
