Back Home

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post, but dad did make it back home on Tuesday evening.   He's back on antibiotics and all is going well.  We're all hoping this round of antibiotics will work and then he will remain infection-free for a while.  He needs to stay home, because it's way too cold outside for a man who wears a gown!  :) 

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was wonderful  We all made a trip to Grandma's.  Dad was treated to a a few ounces of clear chicken soup, but the rest of us ate his share of other foods.  Dad and Karl even worked in a game of dominoes.  Dad said sitting at the table was uncomfortable, but luckily he got good hands and was able to beat Karl pretty quickly.  :) 

It's unfortunate that after such a great holiday weekend there would have to be another bump in the road, but today Dad is in the El Campo hospital getting antibiotics.  He just recently finished the last round of antibiotics, but it appears he has some sort of infection that's causing him to run fever.  ECMH is doing some tests and administering antibiotics.  His stay there should be fairly short, probably just until antibiotics can be ordered and received for mom to administer at home.

Improvement

It looks like a routine is coming together. Therapy 3 times a week, the antibiotics are almost finished, and mom has showed vast improvement in her TPN abilities. We will all be in town together for Thanksgiving and dad will make his first trip out of the house (other than the visit to the hospital) on Thanksgiving Day as well all gather together at grandmas. We have so much to be thankful for this year.

Scarlet

Sadly we found that Scarlets injuries were too severe . She died on Friday. We loved her dearly and are heartbroken by this.. Thank all of you who asked about her and shared your good wishes. --Ruthie

Cat Found

Scarlet has been found, but she is injured. Dr. Baron is working on her, and we're hoping for Dr. Duke-like results.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. RED DUKE!

Can you believe that steady of a hand at age 81?

THANK YOU!

Have You Seen This Cat?

The family cat is missing and was last seen early Saturday morning. She stayed close to home the entire time mom and dad were in Houston, and they missed her terribly. (they even had a picture of her hanging in their hospital room) They were so happy to see her when they made it back home. We need help finding Scarlet. A REWARD is being offered. Please call if you see her!
