Still at IMC

It's Tuesday night (2/5) and I just came home from being with Craig all day in the hospital.  He's been there since last Friday night.  They have been treating him for c. diff since then (it was confirmed finally on Sunday) and he isn't really showing a lot of progress.  The frequent diarrhea just won't stop.  Poor guy is in the bathroom about every half hour and more if he's eaten something.  So he tends to not want to eat or drink much because that just means more time in the bathroom.  The good news is his kidney function is almost normal again and he's not dehydrated anymore.  He's been on IV fluid for most of the time but today they took it off as they felt he was drinking enough to keep up with it.  We brought in his favorite frozen limeade yesterday and he likes to drink that.  He says he can actually taste it.  He has also had thrush in his mouth which has taken away his taste buds.  The thrush is about cleared up thankfully.  Another night in the hospital where he isn't sleeping too well (does anyone?).  The sad thing is the bathroom visits don't really ease up too much in the night.  He didn't take his Sutent tonight thinking maybe it is stopping the drugs from helping.  I think the doctors are a little baffled why he isn't getting better but I think it's the cancer that suppresses his normal immune response.  We also just need to be patient.  Please keep him in your prayers!  We appreciate it!
