Monday 9/28 part 2

[Joe Haldeman]

Mon 9/28 4PM  None of the cultures that have come back so far show  
anything.  The infectious disease doc says it's probably in his  
abdomen.  The surgeon agrees.  Meanwhile his temp is hovering at 102,  
lower than it has been, without the cold bed.  The surgeon will do  
another cat scan tomorrow.  He does not want to operate again if he  
can help it.  He says every day away from the original surgery is a  
good day.  Maybe Joe'll fight it off with the antibiotics he has and  
his own tough self.

He was more alert today, knew my voice, closed his eyes when I asked  
him to.  I worry this means he's not getting enough of the fun drugs.   
They've reassured me that he is.

Because he clearly knew I was there, I've stuck close today instead of  
going off somewhere, though we did go to an ice cream parlor after  
lunch. Gay
