Dad is not writing his usual Wednesday post this week because he "decided" to spend some time in the hospital. He's been at Maine Medical since Saturday evening.
He hadn't been feeling well for several days. He thought he was fighting a cold, but it turned out to be an infection — a pretty bad one.
Fortunately he went to the hospital in the nick of time and he is getting an antibiotic every eight hours (via IV). We are still not sure when he will be home, but he believes it will be in time to pen his usual Wednesday post next week.
In the meantime Debbie and I have been tag-teaming Mom's care. (Debbie's done several sleepovers!) Lew is preparing many of Mom's meals. I've watched a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies with Mom and we did a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle together today.
Mom, Lew, and I had Christmas dinner with Debbie, Glen, Josh, and Zack yesterday. It was good to get out of the house and we had a nice family celebration, although we were missing Dad and our Illinois contingent.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I will try to post again soon!
