Michael’s swelling has gone down a bit, although the team is waiting and watching for it to decrease more. They believe that the diuretics are helping, as the lungs look better and the fluid is decreasing slowly. In addition to closely monitoring his swelling and lungs, the doctors are continuing to observe the Glen for any narrowing. Michael has a slight fever, so they are checking for infection and will treat it accordingly.

For now, the doctors will continue to treat Mick medically. We revel in this slightly better direction this little tiger is heading.

Lots of love and appreciation from New York Presbyterian.

Go show them, Mick!
