Update

Just wanted to let the bloggers know that my dad seems to be doing a lot better. We were up there today, and he was sitting up and joking around. It would be fair to say that the first person to bring him pizza, hot wings or a cup of coffee would be his favorite. He looks really good and a lot of the swelling due to the infection has gone down. There is still some drainage or "ooze" as he referred to it, but other than that he really seems to be improving. Still no talk of a release date, but he said today he is ready to go home. Thanks to all of you for your time spent at the hospital, support, prayers, phone calls and concern, we all really appreciate it. He also wanted me to wish Pat a Happy Birthday!
