Update on my Dad:

Yesterday afternoon when I went in things did not look promising.

Delerious from fever, pain meds or both. Worry about a perforated colon, peritonitis.

A permanent colostomy was a distinct option.

180 degree turn around!

He and I had a rough night last night but he appears to be on the mend.

He is responding to the antibiotics, his fever is down, white count where it should be.

Intead of yesterday's talk of funeral arrangements it's talk of the debate.

He's very excited to see his guy, Ted Cruz, kick butt and take names!

Thank you all for your prayers and I keep you all in my prayers too.

Cruz to Victory!

Sorry for no updates since 8/6. Been driving an hour in to Pittsburgh after working afternoon shift to spend the night at Mercy with Dad. Mom, my Sisters and Brother In Law have been here all the other times.

Still have him on antibiotic IV and hoping to avoid surgery

His A Fib is causing some issues but the cardio says it's safe enough for the moment.

He is stll very weak and it's difficult to see him so frail and helpless.

Allowed solid food as of today though he does not have much appetite.

He seems to be heading in the right direction but we have a ways to go yet.

Again, thank you for your prayers.
