A new PICC line was entered in to Steve's right arm today. It seems Steve is still fighting infection and the doctors want to rule out the "old" PICC line in the left arm. Steve also looked very tired, most likely from the airplane ride Sunday, as well as the fact that he was not fed for the last day and a half. The doctors wanted to make sure that the existing PEG tube, (feeding tube), had not moved from its' original location.
The game plan now is to treat any infection, control the build up of the stomach fluid and continue to work to get Steve to respond to commands and eventually get him fully conscious.
Thank You for joining us in providing love, support, positive thoughts and prayers for Steve in this ordeal. It is so nice to not face this alone.

"Lord, look upon Steve with eyes of mercy, may your healing hands rest upon him, may your lifegiving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength Amen."
KEEP THE FAITH. THE PRAYERS HAVEN'T STOPPED HERE DOWN SOUTH. PRACTICING THAT "PATIENCE THING".
LOVE YA, KATHIE
Steve,
I am glad to hear that you, your family, and Danielle made it safely back to Michigan and you can continue your healing process in the comfort of your home state. Please remember that all of us here in Maryland are still pulling for you and you are never far from our thoughts.
Take care,
Kira
