We had a great weekend visiting my dad and step-mom this weekend. His spirits are high and he was so happy to see us. We also got a chance to see my brother, his wife and my nephew. Overall it was a great visit and we also got to catch up with other friends of ours in the area.
Before we came into town the incision for my dad's brain surgery was a little bit infected but it seemed to be getting better with antibiotics, etc.. When we were leaving it looked like his infection had gotten worse. They checked with their doctor and they were told to go back to the hospital to get it checked out. They were in the hospital all day yesterday, had some tests done and my dad was readmitted to the hospital (not a joy for him since he had thought he was done with hospitals for now after being there for 2.5 weeks for his surgery). They decided late last night to do a surgery to reopen a portion of the incision to clean out the infection.
At the point that I am writing this blog my dad is at the hospital waiting for the surgery. His spirits are down a bit right now but he is trying to stay positive. He hasn't been able to eat since midnight since they don't know when the surgery will be and he has to fast for it.
Please keep us all in your prayers.
