Mr. Bo Vance is our family friends and very ill at this moment. I only met his wife, since my Mom-in-law and Ms. Weaverland work together. Please read the latest update of Mr. Bo and do remember to pray for him. Your prayers are meant so much.
He is in the Mayo Clinic at St.Mary's hospital in Rochester MN. The hospital called Waverland this morning and told her that he had took a turn for the worse and was bleeding from the rectum. He is in ICU now. Waverland had just driven home from there yesterday. She is on her way back by plane - since it is near Chicago, she will probably have an all day trip.
He went to Mayo last monday the 5th and was to have tests run all week to see if there was anything more that could be done for him. He had tests on Monday and then on Tuesday, they discovered that he had an infection on one of his fingers. They put him in the hospital and started trying to find out what kind of infection it was - they determined that he had 2 forms of staph, but that it had not gotten into his heart yet. They started him on strong iv antibotics and decided that he had not gotten rid of the first staph infection when he was in the hospital a few weeks ago - at that time they took his port out(he received nutrition through itsince his colon doesn't absorb anything) and waited a few days before they put it back in - they determined that he must have gotten the second form of staph when the port was put back in at Little Rock.
Him having both forms of staph was what was pulling him down and not letting his TPN and medications work.
They removed his port again and left it out for a couple days then put another one back in Wednesday- the plan was for them to start him back on his TPN and get him built back enough to come home in a couple weeks. Waverland stayed until she saw that he was doing ok then she started home - she wanted to be home for Clay's graduation tomorrow night - it took her 2 days because of the weather Wednesday night.
