Tuesday

I saw Jeff this morning and he doing very well. He is disconnected from most things now and able to walk around a little. He did 2 laps around the hallway loop and is very happy to have some freedom back. They did three treatments on the blood drug and he is now done with that. He can now drink water and juice and is eating food that is more solid. He is getting some movement in his face and feels relieved that is coming back. The best news is he may be coming home in a couple days. He can take phone calls at 330 375 4466.

Sunday

On Sunday Jeff was moved out of intensive care and into a 6 person observation room where the will continue to keep a close eye on him. He was able to spend time with his daughters the other day and was looking forward to seeing his son later on Sunday.

Short Summary What Happened

It started about two weeks ago when he started feeling tired and spent a lot of time resting. A week ago he could no longer close his eyes. The virus affects your nerves and paralyzes you.

He went into the hospital last Sunday and they started lots of tests – with Jessica’s strong encouragement when they were not working quite fast enough. Lucky for Jeff he has such a good wife because the sooner they know what is wrong and start treatment the less damage is done and the easier and faster the recovery.

His main treatment was filtering his blood five days in a row that helped improve his condition. They are now switching to a drug to keep battling the bad stuff in his blood.
