Mom completed her early morning assignment at the Tabernacle this morning and then arrived at the hospital to spend the afternoon and evening with dad.
Dad has had a CT of his head and some other tests today as his medical team continues to solve the mystery of dad's current condition. The CT came back showing edema (swelling, fluid build up) of his surgical site, this is not surprising considering radiation and brain surgery; it is negative for a blood clot or a bleed. Dad's legs remain swollen, it is obvious he is retaining fluid; the fluctuation of his weight is also an indicator he is retaining water.
Dave, Gentry and I spent the afternoon visiting with mom and dad. Jeff, his family, Matt and Michele arrived later this afternoon. Dad should rest well this evening following a great afternoon of visiting. One of our favorite nurses (Big Dave) is the floor manager today, we are confident and comfortable knowing dad will be treated with respect and quality care.
