Things have come to a standstill as far as Daddy's progress. last night Dr. Chen was concerned with how much the porta-cath was hurting Daddy. The nurse removed the porta-cath and explained that it had become lopsided and when the catheter was inserted, instead of going into the vein it was going into the surrounding skin/tissue. A general surgeon came in this morning and said that the porta-cath was clogged up and they were going to try putting medicine into it to unclog. If that doesn't work, Daddy will have to have surgery to replace it. They did take a blood sample and are sending to the lab for testing to see if he has any infection.
Daddy is not doing very well this morning. Dr. Chen has even been in twice checking on him and is very concerned with how weak Daddy is. He has a lot of bloody mucus coming out of his trachea tube, which he hasn't been having. His headaches are still really bad too. Dr. Chen told Daddy's nurse that he wanted Daddy monitored very closely today.
I will try to update again this afternoon/evening.

Hi there Harris family. Not a day goes by that we don't think of Roy and the whole family and all that you have been through. So exhausting for each of you.
Praying things will get better situated for Roy now. What a journey! We will leave for vacation sat. for a week so won't be in touch. God bless each of you with the sustenance you need to keep the stamina. Love and prayers. Bill and Sue
Sorry for the setback, it is only temporary, healing will come, tell LeRoy to hang in there. Will pray for faster healing and rest for the family.
