Saturday, April 9, 2016: Mike, Mystery Man

Diagnosis: we don't know.  We know a bunch of things the mouth and throat sores are NOT.  Not an infection. Not cancer. Not a virus.  One doctor seems set that the food pipe ulcers must have come from a pill getting stuck sideways for a while.  But that wouldn't explain the mouth ulcers.  They have taken him off the antibiotics and antiviral.

Discharge: there have been three plans so far!  So I won't even mention the latest possibility until, perhaps, we're walking/rolling out the door.  But he could discharge Monday.

He is getting nutrition through a PICC (central line) to give his mouth and throat a rest, but he can have "full diet" if he's up to it.
