    I haven’t posted in a while, but thought I’d update you on Harry. After a UTI that lingered, one urine test showed abnormal cells so his local uro did a cystocopy of his neo and found some infection remained, but nothing else. Finally after more antibiotics the infection cleared but we went to Stanford for a discussion with his surgeon. He decided to recheck the neo and then check the ureters and kidneys. For this procedure Harry would need general anesthesia and an overnight stay in the hospital. Arrangements were made for my overnight stay at the Navy Lodge close by (my home away from home during his extended hospital stay!). After the procedure the doctor came out and told me that he had looked into the neo, ureters and kidneys and everything looked great. So good that he didn’t take any tissue samples and Harry could go home rather than stay in the hospital for the night. We opted to spend the night at the Lodge since we had the reservation. He was pretty tired the rest of the day/evening, but fine the next day for the three hour drive home – he even drove! We’ll follow-up with the surgeon in three months. This was definitely an answer to many prayers.
