The kidney stone is major concern. However, the usual surgery to put a coil around the kidney to take care of the kidney stone is risky, as Dad Pierce has thin blood and bleeding is a dangerous risk.
They have been giving him plasma with the goal of thickening his blood sufficiently to do the surgery. A successful surgery would eliminate the cause of the overall infection, etc. However, the surgery is risky for obvious reasons (bleeding, his overall condition, etc.)
They want to do surgery ASAP, could be today. That is all we know for now.
Jen and Matt Heil arrived at the hospital and Dad Pierce did smile at Jen and was happy to see her and when Matt said he was looking forward to the Eagles game tonight Dad Pierce gave a thumbs up.

Thank you Carolyn so much for the updates. I just read it to my mom. We are both thankful to hear that your dad is able to smile. We've been worried about him being in a lot of pain.
Love, Teresa
