Dad had some special visitors today - his two granddaughters Alyssa and Anastin. Apparently, Alyssa was quite the chatterbox and talked Dad's ear off. He was very happy to see him.
They removed the "regular" IV today has they have had to replace it 3 times this week. It is very hard to find Dad's veins so the nurses are unable to put in the IV. Since anesthesiology must come down to do the IV line, they have decided to put in a more permanent line into his chest so they don't have to keep replacing the IV. They also switched to some new antibiotics today as Dad is still running a fever. Hopefully, these new ones do the trick.
Jacki left for Michigan today and Mom's friend Marian will be coming tomorrow to help out for a couple of days. We are very thankful that Jacki was able to stay so long and also thankful she had a ride home - thank you Ann! After Wednesday Mom will be holding down the fort alone for awhile, so I'm sure she would welcome any dinner dates. Thanks again to everyone for all your help and support.
