ValleyRD Mailing List: Hoyit Bailey - Update

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

Hi:

I talked with Hoyit and with Del Bailey at 4:30 pm today.  Hoyit is at home (in their motorhome parked at RV Park near M.D. Anderson, Houston).  He goes back to the doctors next Wednesday and is hoping they will remove the 2 drains in his back (below left shoulder) where the muscle was removed to place on top of his skull.  The doctors removed the drain from his head when he was released from the hospital the first part of this week.  He said his left leg was bothering him a lot where the skin was taken for the skin grafts on his head.  He still has some congestion in his chest from the pneumonia (he had the crud which is going around when he went in for surgery).  You can tell it in his voice and he said he still has lots of congestion.  He is taking short walks during the day.  Del has come down with the crud(virus) a couple days ago and is not feeling well at all.  She does have some medication from a doctor to take, but said she still has so much drainage and sore throat.  Please continue to keep them in your prayers.
