Update On My Dad
My dad's recovery is going very slowly. His heart is much weaker, and they found a "spot" on his liver that wasn't there in April. They're going to check it again in four weeks and decide at that point if they need to do a biopsy or anything else.
He's come down with pneumonia again and is on antibiotics & oxygen. The doctor will decide tomorrow if they need to re-admit him to the hospital.
Most likely he will not be going home alone anymore. His lease is up at the end of Septemeber, and my Uncle J in Virginia Beach has a mother-in-law suite attached to his home. He's offered to take my dad in. There are many benefits to that:
1) He won't be alone;
2) My dad's lady, B, lives near Virginia Beach;
3) It looks like Kelly & Stanley will be going to the Naval base in Virginia Beach/Norfolk in March after the baby is born. His contract with Bethesda is up then and he's been informed that's where he'll most likely go.
But there are drawbacks, too:
1) My Uncle J is not as responsible as Uncle D in St. Louis;
2) Uncle J goes gambling all the time, and my dad lost close to $200,000 in gambling (most of his settlement with the hospital);
3) Uncle J travels alot. He has a motorhome and loves to just pick up and go. If my dad gets better, he may be able to go with him, but right now we don't know.
So if you could keep Hutchlover's Dad in your prayers, I would appreciate it. Thank you!
