Latest update on dad they do not yet have the results back from the lab on the type of infection he has but they have confirmed it is an urinary infection which has spread to the blood. They are therefore giving him anti biotic intravenously and they reckon blood etc should be back to normal in about 10 days. After that they can determine if all the symptoms are due to the infection or if some of them are due to the urological problem that dad has seeing as one of the biopsies they took at the beginning of December showed cancerous cells but until the infection has gone they cannot determine anything.

If when infection gone his waterworks are back to normal he will be discharged and the Prostrate diagnosis will take its course as was originally planned which is await for committee to sit to determine treatment. If he still has problems holding or passing water once the infection has gone the hospital will contact the urologist and they determine what form of treatment needs to be followed and whether this linked to prostrate problem or not.

So basically we are not going to know anything for about 10 days, thank you for your prayers; as you can imagine this is a very trying time for us, dad especially just waiting to see what can or in fact needs to be done.
