The most current on my Dad as of Monday evening.

He is still in NICU at Carraway in Birmingham.  There has not been much change today.  The GI doctor decided not to do the scope today.  His pancreatic levels have come down some, but not enough to get him "out of the woods".  They are going to continue with antibiotics, hydration, heparin and TPN.  They are still concerned about the blood clot in his leg.  The heparin is thinning the blood, they just have to be careful not to get it too thin.  He is bleeding from several of the places that they have tried to draw blood.  He has had to have his arms wrapped in gauze and bandages to keep the pressure on the areas so he won't bleed out.  
It will be a slow process but we just have to be patient.
Thanks for the many phone calls and prayers.
