Vanderboegh Medical Update: Good News

I just got off the phone with Mike.  He informed me that he's sitting up and had just finished "a strip of bacon, some scrambled eggs and grits, God love 'em," and was "awaiting judgment" on whether he would hold them down, but had high hopes as he was victorious yesterday over "spaghetti and meatballs and beef tips on rice."

He said "they're talking about letting me go home tomorrow," and had to hang up because his doctor came in the room.

He called me back a few minutes later and said he's scheduled to be released tomorrow morning and will be getting home healthcare visits from a nurse.

I observed this must mean they had the infection under control, and he said "We'll see, at least it's not progressing."

I also told him he sounded a lot stronger and more lucid, and he said that's because they've taken him off the medical marijuana so he's not stoned.  I'd forgotten to mention he was being given Marinol in my previous posts.

We then had a nice conversation about anti-Federalists, Patrick Henry and the strengths and weaknesses of the Constitution.

He tells me he may be doing some posts later today--I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

Half-an hour later...

He called me back with some info on a potential story I can't talk about now, which led into a 45-minute discussion on approaching political and economic storm clouds, and I am very pleased to note that intellectually, he's firing on all cylinders.  I'm very encouraged this morning.

IV Vancomycin most likely for several days then more blood cultures. Find the best infectious disease physician around and you'll be fine. God speed from a new fan; just found out through an American Thinker post on Pavlich's book who the real unsung heroes are.....new member of the three percent, hailing from the Republic of Texas on this magnificent San Jacinto Day.

Thank you Lord Jesus for hearing our prayers for this American patriot's recovery from an alien excision! Now on to excising the aliens running amok in the District of Corruption.

Thank you for Rosey and her tender care for Mike and all his friends and family whose support is so critical at this time.

And thank you David for the update and for keeping the embers red hot on the continuing saga of feral government corruption and Constitutional abuse which we're soon to sweep clean via election.

Wonderful news!

Thank you for being so faithful to share with us.
And we must all INCREASE our prayers now, not back off, as we sometimes do when we see a glimpse of sunlight through the clouds. More prayer work remains.

Thanks, David, for the good news. Mike (even though he would probably argue the point) is a real American hero and is needed in the struggle probably more now than ever before. The enemy is on the run but needs a few good whacks in the butt with the sword Mike wields so well. They must not be allowed to regroup.

I would recommend that he not attempt to accomplish too much too soon, but that advice would more than likely go by the wayside.

Give him my best wishes when next y'all talk.
