Well...an update. His anemia is neither better nor worse. It's holding
it's own so he is still on B-complex vitamins, folic acid, and iron
supplements. We still have to deal with the liver problem. That did not
clear up as well as the doc expected and he was still jaundiced. He was
put on some oral liver detoxifiers last week and was switched to
injectable dextoxifiers this week. His skin seems to be "pinking up"
and he's losing the yellowish tinge he has had. He's on a fooder right
now eating everything in sight. Mushrooms, other than canned, are
impossible to get here in Honduras.
