Connie, thank you for the update. I am so glad to hear that Mr. Connie is doing better. I remember that after my dad had bypass surgery he wound up with a staff infection in his legs (where they "borrowed" veins). He was sicker from the hospital acquired staff than with the bypass.
It took him a while to recover his appetite as well.
More prayers for Mr. Connie and for you. May God bless the both of you and the medical team that is treating him with knowledge, strength, and skill.
