Dad is awake again! Dr. V said, "I guess miracles do happen." You bet, buddy!
Dad does have a fever, so they’re taking cultures to find out what the infection is. In the meantime they have him on a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Once the culture comes back they’ll know exactly which antibiotic to use. They’ve also got to identify the source of the infection. With all the IV’s he’s had and now the drain, it could be almost anything. He has a lot of chest congestion, so there’s always the possibility that it’s pneumonia.
In the afternoon he became quite a bit less responsive. Dr. Rachel has come by a couple of times and keeps telling us she is encouraged, so I try to listen to her and not my fear.
We’re looking forward to tomorrow.
