1. The CT head scan reveals no bleeding at the tumor site. Thank God!
2. With that news, he will resume the Heparin drip sometime this afternoon. We don't want to give the Damm Clot any time to get bigger or develop new, equally damaging friends.
3. After further review of the lung scans from Monday, there is reason to believe that Steve has an infection in his lungs. He'll start antibiotics for that today. And more labs will be run today to determine what kind of infection, if any, it is. An infection could explain his overall fatigue, slow response rate and general feeling of awfulness.
