Fritz Photos 2

[Lilith Cherry]

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 Fritz and I got to pet him for a while! I hope both Papa and Auntie Irene will be feeling much better soon .

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.

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

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.
