Mike Davis update
Quick update on Mike Davis.
The Towson land-use attorney and former top aide to one-time County Executive C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger is back in the hospital battling an infection in his chest.
Davis underwent an emergency liver transplant at Johns Hopkins Hospital on July 5. He came home later that month. Recently he had even taken up e-mailing friends from his PDA.
Ann Davis, Mike’s wife, tells me in an e-mail that a leak in a bile duct allowed fluid to build up around one of his lungs. Then he picked up an infection that made a home in the same area.
“So, it is specific to Michael’s case,” Ann Davis wrote. “However, it still falls within the general thought that being a transplant patient, he is very susceptible to infections. There seems to be a general range of events during the recovery of transplant patients, but individual recovery and setbacks can greatly vary. Michael has the unique ability to thrive where other patients would have failed much sooner.”
