saturday morning....

Hi everyone. Sorry no update yesterday. Siobhan had a luau in the afternoon that turned into a marathon beach day. It was great but we came home totally wiped out!

I spoke to Dad yesterday and may go see him today. He saw the infectious disease doctor yesterday who does not think the MRSA has colonized. So, IV antibiotics continue as does the isolation room for now.

They are having trouble getting a good vein for his IV, and Thursday night it leaked into his arm. He was going for a scan yesterday to make sure there was no clot.

Soft food is going well and he sounds very up and much stronger. He's watching tv, more chatty and wants the little DVD player so he can catch up on his Netflix. All good signs. We're hoping he'll be home sometime this week.

Tonight is the big, annual Special Olympics fundraiser/Tribute to the Wounded Warriors. It's a huge block party and tons of fun. We're very much hoping for the rain to hold off!
