Poor Craig! He's still in the hospital. Still spending way too much time in the bathroom. They doubled his antibiotics yesterday hoping to see some reduction in the diarrhea but so far not a lot of success. He'll have a few hours when it slows down but as soon as he eats something it goes right through him. We've had his Dr. at Huntsman talk to the Drs. at IMC and they've come up with nothing. They talk about taking him off the Sutent to see if that will help the c.diff. Craig feels that Sutent helps the diarrhea and has tried a night without it and it wasn't any better.
We spoke with the GI doctor in the afternoon and he felt Craig is making progress and it will take some time to feel better. He wants Craig to stay on the higher dose of both antibiotics for 2 weeks. Craig does feel he's having more control so that's good. Tonight he ate a little more and even is thinking about food he'd like to eat. He hasn't had an appetite for quite awhile which is a good sign. He also has been drinking enough to go off the IV drip today. His kidney function is very close to normal. And to top it all off, we took a stroll around the whole 9th floor! Some pretty good progress today!
