We all miss Papa , Fritz~ And, We are sending our Good Thoughts Your Way !!
Give Mom a {{PT HUG}}} too!!!
http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/patient.jpg Fritz snoozing on the pillow late this afternoon,patiently waiting for mommy to come home from seeing dad.I went with Larry this afternoon to see Dad,I go into the room,mom says "Look who's here" and dad was happy and sad at the same time ,he was glad to see me,but i think he misses his little pal and he wants to come home,hasn't been told when yet,might be Monday,it's the weekend and not much testing is done on weekends.He did urinate a bit,that's good.He didn't have much sleep last night,another man in there talked in his sleep all night,dad didn't like it.he didn't like the food they had,potatoes and broccoli,so Larry went out to get some soup,we then got the nurse to go down and she brought back some Cream of Cauliflower,ate that up,Larry brought back Butternut Squash and had some of that.he had some tea,Apple Juice and ensure,has not had the coughing and choking problems he had here at home.He used a shoveling motion with his arms,askn if I had done the snow,I told him yes,he got into the crying,he misses doing the snowplowing.Marlene was on her way to the washroom when she saw a man with a little white dog,she asked what kind it was ,he said a Poodle.Marlene had him come in the room with the dog,he looked almost like Fritz.he brought him right up to dad,tried to get the dog to kiss him,no luck.The only reason i think the dog was there ,it might be a therapy dog.Marlene thanked him,he said no problem.dad wa happy to see the dog,din't get all emotional since it looked like Fritz.Dad wanted Mom and Marlene to stay until 6,so they are now on their way home.Shannon may go and see him tomorrow,that will cheer him up.
Barry, I'm just in tears reading your story. Please give my best to your Dad and I send best wishes to you and all the family too. I keep praying for all of you every day. Kisses to Fritz from us.

Barry I am sorry your dad has been hospitalized, but when we are sick that is the place we need to be. I hope that he can come home soon. I know you and your mom and Fritz all miss him. As always, the pictures of Fritz in the window just melt me. What a cutie pie. :)

Barry, I'm just reading about your dad. I hope he's getting the treatment he needs at the hospital. I wish Fritz could go & visit him. I know that would cheer your Dad up.
Please keep us posted on your Dad.
Take care.

You all are going through some very trying times Barry. Very hard on everybody. I hope your Mom will get some rest and not get too worn down. I hope they can soon find something to help your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/cuddlyguy.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/newsynappy.jpg Fritz cuddled up in their bed,he slept there again last night and on Mom's lap while she is reading the paper this morning.This procedure gets done sometime between 7 this morning and 3 this afternoon,he hasn't had food since after midnight,so he will be hungry.We are going later, Larry may be taking us,the weather may turn bad,none of us like driving in bad weather.Shannon called Mom this morning,don't know if she is going,she has daycare at her place.I 'll let you all know how it goes,here is hoping it does.
You look so warm and cozy, Fritz. Sleep tight little man.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family Barry. Extra prayers for your Dad are coming his way. Looking forward to hearing the update and hoping for the best news possible. {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}
I wish there was a way Fritz could visit his Dad.
I will be thinking of your Dad today.
Take care.
http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/ttowelguy.jpg Fritz under the dining room table with a tea towel.He had a sleep on it and would get up to move when he thought we might take it from him.The hospital phoned at 11 this morning asking when Mom was coming,dad was getting upset,wants to come home ,still hadn't done the procdure yet.I stayed behind this time,it was only Mom and Marlene going and Larry is at work,so I am here babysitting Fritz .He is up between the two pillows of their bed sleeping,waiting for someone to come home.Had a few wet flurries flying around here today,a little rain later and in the 50's by later in the week.Let you now what transpires.mom phoned at 25 to 4 and he hadn't had it done yet,was to be 10 am,they got behind,he is uneasy,mom not happy.Hopefully it will be done todayd,he can't have anything to eat until they do it and he hasn't ate in almost a day can't afford to lose anymore weight.Still nothing new.Larry phoned here,Marlene had phoned him,this was 6:30 and said they were taking him down.He just phoned again about 8:00,and apparently still had not taken him down,maybe 9-9:30 now.Mom must be fit to be tied with all these delays.Dad has had nothing to eat all day,he could starve if they don't hurry up with his .Turning out to be another long and trying day.fritz is upstairs,he could be with me,but i think he isn the window,he is missing his papa and so am I.
http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/dearboy.jpg Fritz on the pillow on the bed.he stayed up there all night,never came down to me,only to go outside.Not in good humour,dad tried getting out of bed today.Dad finally had it done tonight a between 8 and 9.Shannon and her husband came to see him that's good,he never looked at Marlene for some reason,at least he come.They gave dad some pills to calm him down,he can have a good sleep and have a better day tomorrow and can have some food,just had intra venous today,no solid food.We will need help here at home mom can only do so much.Don't when he is coming back here,maybe know tomorrow.
