Ground Hog Day

It was a photo opportunity but I didn't have my camera, unfortunately. Ron walked half way to the mailbox down Notre Dame Path this afternoon. We didn't set any records for speed, but it was a great start toward recovery.

Our home is officially an Infirmary. David has a raging sinus infection with all the extras - ear ache, 102 degree fever, body aches and bad cough. Ariella is in the early stages of the same malady. We are hoping the antibiotics kick in before Monday and they can return to school. Jello is now my specialty and I need a spreadsheet to chart the med's and vitals. Good thing I had two weeks training in ICU! Please pray Ron does not contract this bug!

The next creatinine test will be on Monday and if all goes well, the catheter will be removed soon. That will bring Ron down to one tube!

Hopefully Yours,

Carol

Darn! ARi should have stayed with us so she could avoid all the sickness over there. Any excuse to have her here.

Yeah, Ron for getting out for a walk. That's one small step for Ron and one giant leap for Ron's recovery! :)
