Had a hard time getting hold of Dad or a nurse all day today, but talked to his social worker at the hospital. Finally talked to a nurse and then to Dad after 9:00 p.m. Moving in the best direction possible considering the circumstances. Here's the latest update. Kat, thanks for getting these out there. I don't know how often I'll be able to get on here, so please keep passing them on as you can. I'm passing the word back to Dad. Means a lot to him. I'll know things are OK when the hand puns start flying. Just Saturday we were tossing corn puns back and forth. "The more things change, the more they get different."

Just an update on Dad. It was confirmed that he has a bacterial infection that they are fighting with antibiotics. He's doing well, and we had a good talk tonight, but he gets tired pretty quickly and the meds have left him a bit cloudy. Thanks for all your good thoughts. I'm passing them on to Dad, and it means a lot to him.

Mom's knee has gotten pretty tight. I'm trying to find out more and see where her physical therapy is. She's worried about Dad, of course. They both miss eachother.

I'll keep you all posted as I find out more. I'm trying to establish contact directly with their doctors.
