http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/bednapsy.jpg Fritz in mom's bed this morning.He slept tight against her basck al night.This morning,was in the living room chair with her and was looking at the empty spot where dad sits.The doctor never did come,the nurse brought it up on ther computer and everything is fine.He had tests done for what they thought was diarrhea,nothting wrong there.Apparently there had been some sort of bug floating through hospitals, Mom and Marlene had to gown up,the other people in the room didn't not even the nurse,then later the opposite they gowned up and Mom and Marlene didn't.Didn't really eat much,had a little Ensure.Still not sure as to when he will transfered to the hospital here.Mom and Marlene going over later,Larry will come from work to take me over for a few minutes then bring me back.Jason came and trimmed the trees dad wanted done,dad will like that,me and my Uncle helped out.That's all there is for now,hopefully know a little more later.

I'm sure your mom is happy Fritz has been sleeping with her. Frits knows you all miss Papa being home. I hope you hear good news today!!

There's our cozy little guy!! What a perfect bed buddy and companion you are, Fritz!! Keeping Papa's spot in the bed warm like a good boy.

I hope you get some good news soon, Barry.

http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/fritzyflippy.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/reflecting.jpg Fritz flipped over on the bed today and in the window looking out.It looks like the reflection is staring right back at Fritz.Nothing new to report on when dad is getting transfered,has been asking to come home again.Didn't eat much at lunch today,a little soup ,ate a little more at supper.Didn't sleep good last night,had a better one today.Mom saw Auntie Irene over there today,she was having a chemotherapy treatment.Mom says she does not look good.fritz layed around most of the day,either on the bed,in the kitchen or the window woke up to have some of my lunch .I think he is really missing dad,looks out that front window hoping he comes back soon,even stared at the spot where dad would sit.he had an ultrasound today,don't what for,there is nothing else wrong.They had to wear gowns in the room,still a bug in the hospital,even wiping the walls of the room.The third test come back ,he is fine ,he has no problems.Greenshield won't pay for the Ensure,will pay for it for cancer patients and Mom paid $ 12 to have our doctor to fill out the form,she is fighting that.Dad made the odd wizecrack,so he still has his sense of humor.

Fritz looks like an angel. I love the picture of him with his reflection in the window. Glad you got a little "all fours" nap Fritzie. Getting some rest while waiting for Papa is good. That's horrible to hear about that bug in the hospital. I don't think I've ever heard of the visitors having to wear gowns. I hope it's gone soon.

Sorry Auntie Irene doesn't look good. I hope and pray that the chemo is working. Have they tested her lately or does that come later, Barry? You and your family sure are going through alot of hardship. I'll keep praying for all of you.

Don't worry Fritzie, Papa will be coming back to you soon!! :D

Hi Barry and Fritz! I love looking at your pictures. I live in Ontario too when I am "at home" for the summer. There are very few pet dogs on the campus where I live but yesterday I saw one ( visiting) that looked like :D Fritz and I got to pet him for a while! I hope both Papa and Auntie Irene will be feeling much better soon .

http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/hideyeyes.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/imhungry.jpg Fritz all fours in the air,eyes covered by the blanket and Fritz finishing off my cereal,then had toast.He stayed on my lap in the recliner for an hour,before I come here,he ended up in the window,then greeted mom when she came back from the hairdressers.He then had to go out,is now with Mom in the living room.Mom and Marlene are going over to the hospital later this morning,hope to have some good news regarding Dad and he can be transfered back here to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville.

Oh I love the picture of Fritz's reflection in the window!

http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/sadguy.jpg Fritz laying,watching the back door for Mommy to come ,hoping to see Papa,did this a few times today.He also slept on the bed a few times to keep in warm just in case.It looks like dad will be transfered back to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville on Monday.That will be good,it is not even a 5 minute drive from our home .Hope they have a bed this time.Dad pretty good today,he ate more supper than he has lately ,pleasing Mom.Hope to go over with Larry tomorrow to see him .

Aww, you're really missing Papa aren't you Fritz? Poor little guy. I know he misses you too. Maybe when he gets transferred, you can go to the hospital and see him since it's close by and you would be great therapy for him. It sounds like Papa is doing a little better. :)

You look adorable by the way :)

http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/nosytuck.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/fritz85/bednapper.jpg Fritz last night with Mom,nose tucked in and in her bed this morning.Went to bed with her first,then out under the dining room table and he then come to me and after a few minutes,he went to Mom for the rest of the night.Mom and Marlene are going over shortly and Larry and will head over at around noon.A little more about yesterday's events.The man in charge of sending people home said everything that can be done medically is done and he should go to a nursing home.No way Marlene says,he goes home first before that and we will think about it over the weekend.The guy also says there is a 8 week wait for help,our caseworker says she could get it done faster.Larry tried phoning yesterday for a hospital bed for here,it was Friday and no one there.Marlene talked to the Doctor who originally diagnosed dad and he says dad is to go to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville and be put in the long term care ward.You still have to gown up overe there,they wash the wals and change curtains between beds.Dad has had three tests for this bug,he doesn't have it.A nurse could be in there just a couple of minutes and then out and would have to wear another to come back in.the doctor who did the prostate procedure never come by and had an ultrasound done,nobody who works on the floor dad is on knew what for.he was pretty good yesterday,ate good,drank some water,hasn't had any sign of this bug.Dad will probably ask about fritz and wil get upset.Fritz has really been missing him lately.He lays just inside the doorway to the kitchen and watches the back door hoping mom wil have Dad with her.

Barry your latest note brought tears to my eyes. Just reading how much your dad is missing Fritz and knowing that Fritz is missing him just as much is heartbreaking. I hope that you will get some answers and receive some help with his ongoing care. This is all so sad to us reading it, and I know how sad it is for you and your mom. Thank you for keeping us informed with updates and pictures.

I just wish I had some words of comfort for you Barry. Some magic potion to make this all better. Hang in there my friend. I'll keep hoping and praying for all of you there. Kisses to Fritz.

Poor Fritz, missing Papa :( You look adorable little man.

Barry, I am thankful that you have the camera and can keep taking pictures to share with us. It's good to have something to take your mind off things for a short time. I know it doesn't fix things but it might help. Fritz is such a great comfort to everybody.

I'll keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. My heart breaks for your Dad, you, and the family. :(
