Had an early call from my SIL this morning. Pop is back in the h ospital.
HE had developed pneumonia after his last surgery and fluid was filling
his lungs. They got it drained, but they are filling back up again, so
surgery is scheduled sometime today. Sally is heading up to the hospital
right now to see what is going on. Apparently he developed an infection
from the last visit and the antibiotics aren't working on it.

Basically, they have said that there is a good chance that he won't make
it through this surgery. Sally and I are trying to prepare the boys
(Norman and Ken) and I will probably have to be the one to call Kevin in
CA to let him know, but this is their father that we are talking about and
it's going to hit them really hard. Sally said that Pop has gone from a
robust 210 down to a boney 137 and has basically just given up.

Please keep the family in your prayers as we wait and see what is going
on.

Well, the latest we have heard is that Pop made it rhough surgery, and
is in ICU. Sally (SIL) is supposed to call me with any new
information, but I haven't heard from her yet. Kevin (BIL in CA who
had surgery on his neck last month) called and made sure that I had all
info in case I had to go through the Red Cross to reach him - he
figured that Norman (next oldest from Ken) wouldn't know everything
they needed, and knew that Ken and I are the responsible ones sigh.

That said, Ken and I had a slight disagreement over who all would be
making the trip if it was needed. HE didn't want us with him, but I
reminded him that, as his wife, I should be with him and that is the
end of that! Also told him that, of all the wives, I was probably the
only one who wouldn't feed the boys emotional pap. They have the right
to be sad if they lose their father, but that is no excuse for them to
act like idiots - both of us have familes that tend to behave like
morons in stressful situations.

So, there is nothing to do but wait for Sally to call me back and then
we will figure out what needs to be done, if anything. Mostly, we are
in a holding pattern.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, they are making this a
little easier to deal with.

Prayers on their way for him. Linda in Tx

Prayers for strength to face the days ahead for all the family.
