1. Though Steve is currently on a whole host of new antibiotics, the MRSA infection continues to be a problem. The GI specialist is considering removal of the feeding tube in a couple of days if the situation does not improve. Unfortunately, Steve has had little appetite lately and is dependent on the feeding tube for his nutrition.

2. Today Steve has been very lethargic, with no energy to eat or to move very much. Bedsores are developing and his skin lesions are not healing.

3. The uncologist tells us that this lack of energy is normal for the few days after a chemo treatment. He should be feeling better in a few more days.
