Not Ron this time, but David. An X-Ray yesterday revealed what we suspected, David's cough, double ear infection and weekend long fever was all due to pneumonia. He is now on an additional antibiotic and doing better.
Creatinine levels are still too high for Ron to remove the catheter. However, there is almost too little fluid to test, so we will plead today with his doctor that the catheter should be removed anyway. He is getting a little stronger every day but his rib cage hurts when he moves -- and the catheter is serious a detriment to mobility.
I am struggling to get back to work, hoping today will be the day I can really start to focus on my clients again. They have been very patient SO FAR.
Ariella is doing much better and returned to school yesterday. She has a lighter heart now that college application season has closed. She begins practice today for 'Guys and Dolls' - she is in the Mission Band. How appropriate!

opps... got a bit carried away in my response when Ron emailed an article. Carol thank God for your stamina. May He hasten recovery for David and Ari. Hugs to them both ... but don't you catch it! Loads of love from all of us in the antipodes.
