Sent late last night, from Chris:



Tomorrow Dad goes back into surgery. They are working to remove dead tissue from inside a deep sore. The placement of the sore makes it difficult, but not extremely dangerous. The doctor feels that he will be able to make the adjustments necessary and clean out the wound. Then we have a long period of time where he will hopefully be recovering. Again, the infection is the prime suspect regarding his mental state. As his fever goes up or the infection grows, so does his confusion. We are hopeful that we can get him to the point where he can comprehend that he has a new grand-daughter and meet her for the first time.

Mom is getting a ride to visit him during the day. I'm going over after work. Tomorrow is Dad's 71st birthday. Won't be able to bring a cake and candles as he's on oxygen and a liquid diet. Will do the best I can. I'll follow up tomorrow with an update on his condition post-op.

Chris


Let's hope by the end of this day, Art gets the birthday gift of successful surgery and clearing out of all infection!

Sad to say, I just received this email from Chris...looks like we need to send some extra Mudcat Love & Light to Art, Carol, Chris and family:

Dad is back in the hospital. He went in Tuesday night. His infection never went away in addition to other things. They admitted him to try and address as best they can. He isn't able to answer the phone. He is sleeping a lot and conversations vary in clarity.

Chris


(PM me for the name of the hospital and room number.)

I had a little telephone chat with Art earlier today. He sounded a tad weary but in good spirits. We kept it short but I think he welcomed the call. He said he was thinking he might could still have some fun with a banjo and recalled Fleming Brown telling him that playing banjo is frequently a "hit-or-miss thing." He also recalled Jim Brewer figuring out how to play without a finger that had been badly damaged. He said he was having trouble sometimes finding the right words, but he sounded still pretty sharp to me.
Here's a bit of Art's banjo picking from That's the Ticket! The Santa Fe Trail
