The doctors have determined that the anomaly from the lung bronchoscopy was actually some kind of infection. They are not certain what type but they have been providing him general antibiotics up until now and he has not shown any complications from it.
When we visited tonight he seemed to be coughing less but was still very tired. Fran said they did get him into a chair and sat him up for a little today as part of his physical therapy. He was still having issues swallowing so it will be a little bit longer before he can get a real drink. He was swabbed with some apple juice though so that was a little bit better than water. At some point today he pulled out his feeding tube so they had to reposition this evening to make sure it was working properly.
If he remains stable, Jack will be moved to Oncology department sometime tomorrow. Then he will have a room with window and might get onto a better sleeping schedule.
