Just went to see Papa again. First visit this morning he seemed a little groggy and tired. This time, we were so happy to see him more alert and responding well to us. We told him his buddies Roland and Bernard had been asking about him, ...his response.."they were asking about me, huh?"...and he said.."tell everybody not to catch all the fish". He also talked about the firewood he got from Uncle Howard ....said he gave him a "really good deal". He asked about "all my little angels" (his grandchildren). He sounded like our old Papa when we mentioned the name Grayson, he used one of his familiar nicknames to refer to him as "my little monkeyshine". It was so good to see him coming out of his drug induced stupor. We told him that there are so many people praying for him and wanting him to get well soon.
Dr. Townsend met with us today and gave us the CT scan report. There are still some small pockets of fluid.. He will be monitoring these for the next couple of days.The white cell count is still elevated and he has a low grade fever. The cultures have been coming back negative and he is puzzled by this. We did remind him about the abcessed tooth he had prior to entering the hospital.' He said that he would definitely check into it, that though unlikely it may be the cause of some source of infection. Also they removed the central line he had when he was admitted, thinking that this could also be the source of an infection. Dr.'Townsend continues to remind us that it will be a very slow recovery.
