(Past) Time for an update.
The doctors think Beaux may have CMV (Cytomegalovirus). Most of us carry it around with us by the time we’re 40, but dormant. In normal folks, it seldom needs treatment. It causes cold sores and strep, mono, etc. In people who’ve had a liver transplant, it can get into the muscle and become life-threatening. But they had his coumadin way too high and the only way to know for sure is to get a biopsy — which they can’t do until the blood level is down early next week. Tomorrow, they’ll call and let us know when they’ll scope him. At this stage, he’s not gaining ground. He's not deathly ill or anything, but whatever this is is certainly a set back and we need it solved.
He's still walking a mile a day, which is great. But it's harder than it should be right now. Hold good thoughts.

Praying every day, though I don't stop by to always tell you. Beaux, Lois, girls, you are never far from my thoughts. I've learned recently that if I set an intention for healing I can send reiki through my hands and fingers as I type a message...so sending you healing love energy right this moment.
