    So glad to hear the good update.
    Thinking of you both..........
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Dad is still in ICU.

    Sunday late afternoon they removed the catheter and central line, so he has a smaller one in his hand now, the more normal sort.

    Overnight he had a bad time of it and he is now on oxygen. His blood pressure went over 200 / 90. He has contracted c diff while in the hospital; and he has aspiration pneumonia, with about half of his left lung filled. He felt awful this morning when I went in, hard time breathing.

    Sorry to hear this latest, they are so vulnerable at that age. You'll both be in our prayers.

    Prayers continuing from here in DE too. Antibiotics helped his original problem, but created another monster with the c diff. Hope they get that pneumonia under control too.

    {{{HUGS}}} ~~ and hang in there.
