Well, another morning at Providence Hospital. Cloudy. It looks like it's raining in the mountains. Pretty gray.
The good news is that dad is much more alert today. He recognized me. He's having lots of pain though; and the doc is now worried about pneumonia and/or other infections. His white count is elevated. He is retaining a lot of fluid. He's not a happy camper.
They are starting him on anti-biotics this morning. They're also trying to balance the need to keep him hydrated against the problems associated with retaining fluids.
We're not out of the woods yet; but hopefully he will improve as he continues to shake-off the effects of the anesthesia and pain medications. One day at a time...
I got my rental car yesterday and it's nice to have transportation. I need to get some new clothes and also find a laundromat. Had another mediocre supper last night. Was in bed by 10:00 PM and back at the hospital by 8:00 AM this morning.
Stay tuned...
