Friday

Today is a very hard day. Dad is struggling with multiple infections. Including pneumonia. He is on many antibiotics. It is not MRSA so that is good. But his oxygen is low and his lungs are full of fluids and his abdomen is distended to the point that it is hard for him to breathe. He is not lucid unless you forcibly pull him back. Please send all thoughts and prayers his way. Thanks.

  7. I have the most sincere thanks for Chuck over the years - he has no idea how much he inspired me - and he is receiving my sincere prayers.
