A quick one...

Hi All,

I wanted to give you a short update. Mom and I just back from the hospital. Dad is feeling better, although I say that cautiously. He seems to again be battling a low fever, and they are monitoring the site where is catheter is inserted as there is a small infection that they believe maybe causing all of this. He is being treated with 2 different antibiotics and as of earlier this evening his blood cultures were not growing anything. In addition he has been given a patient controlled pain drip. So he will receive his normal does of pain meds every hour, and now at certain intervals he can get another small does to help better control the pain with the mere click of a button! He continues to come in and out of sleep more often than not, but we were relieved to find him in a little better state than when I left him yesterday. More as time tells.

Much Love,
Emily

Rec'd a message from Terry Forrester re: mouth sores. He had them too from chemo in years past. He reports that eating yogurt helped him.

Sending good thoughts your way from the desert. LOL - Diane
