Day + 25

Well, today would normally be called one of those uneventful days, were it not for the fact that we had a panic situation with regards to the dressing change. Tess and myself made our first solo attempt to change Bill's dressing. We discovered after we had his Central Venus Catheter cleansed and fully exposed that we could not find the outside dressing. We made a panic call to the infusion therapy department . Fortunately, we discovered the outside dressing at the bottom of the bag of supplies, so the crisis was averted. We sure were stressed. We imagined Bill in the emergency room due to our negligence. Thankfully he comfortably sitting here watching late night comedy. We also managed to administer his I.V. fluids and magnesium. Hopefully our attempt tomorrow will be better.

Frank arrived late last night and Tess arrived this morning. Bill is always happy to see her. She makes such an effort to come down from Chicago to see him. We really appreciate that.

This evening we had a lovely evening out with Micky and Lee Ann Quinlan. It is always such a treat to see them, relive past times and catch up on all the years since we last saw each other. Tess and Bill stayed home and guess what they ate.......you got it Papa John's Pizza!

Next weekend, we hope Bill will feel well enough so we all can go out for an early dinner. That will be his first time out of the apartment in three weeks, besides the hospital visits. That is something to work towards. Hope you all are having a lovely Saturday night where ever you are. Hope You are enjoying your weekend in New Hampshire Frank and Karen. After being in hospitals almost each weekend since February ,it will be impossible to ever take a weekend for granted again.

Thank you again for your continued prayers and support. Bill enjoys your messages so much. Since he has very little contact with the outside world , it serves as a window to him. Thank you all.
