Late update, but Adam was not released today. They are happy with the progress he is making on the iv anti-viral medication and were not ready to take him off of that. Also, it's easier for him to see all the doctors involved if he stays here. I think there is a good chance that he will get to go home tomorrow, either with Home Health coming to our house to continue the iv meds or if he's REALLY lucky he'll be on oral medication by that time:) One of the things they are monitoring closely is the fact that the shingles did affect his cornea. They don't seem overly concerned-but want to keep an eye on it (no pun intended.)
They are still wracking their brains trying to figure out how this happened to a healthy 33 year-old. I'm so glad that Adam can talk for himself now- so he can answer the same questions over and over every time someone new comes in:) We have been told that since his case is a first, it will be reported and published in a medical journal....not the way you want to gain celebrity!
We feel so blessed that only 3 days ago he was completely incapacitated by pain and has healed so much. Still praying that the shingles run its course quickly and that there will be no scar tissue to deal with.
