Well, my dad is doing much better. They might move him from ICU to a regular room today. The doctors still don't know what the infection is, but they seem optimistic.

Well, I just got back from visiting my dad at the hospital. Its a slight case of pnuemonia plus some kind of infection the drs don't know what caused it or where it came from or anything. I'm really worried.
See, the past few days he has been fighting back a cold and yesterday, when I got back from my daughters Ice Skating lessons, my step sister was getting ready to take him to the emegency room because he was having a hard time breathing. Well, that didn't happen and we ended calling the ambulance instead.
This is so hard for me because in the past month or so I have really gotten close to my step dad, my dad, because I have been taking care of him ever since he got out of the hosptal from having knee replacement surgery in January. I have been taking him 3x a week to his physical therapy appointments and 2x a week I have been taking him to his regular dr's appointments at the VA hospital sitting there with him for hours at a time.
I actually liked going to the VA Hosp. b/c I got to meet some of the most interesting men & women who fought for our country at one point or another. Sometimes all an older person wants is to see a friendly face and a nice smile and not be concidered a number for one moment in a place like that.
That is why I enjoyed spending time with my dad during those visits. He really needed someone to talk to while waiting or a hand to hold. Something to let him know he wasn't alone. That I was there if he needed anything.
I couldn't stand to see him in that ICU room tonight. He looked so helpless. I wanted to hold his hand all night and tell him it was going to be ok, but I couldn't because I don't know.

I so hate winter! I can't wait till I can move to Vegas when I want to. I can't until my daughter is 18yrs when she is old enough to go away to college. I have this thing called "joint" custody with my "ex' keeping me here in this god forsaken city. I'm working on my daughter to go to college out in Nevada that way when I "DO" move out there, she will be close to home. Am I devious or what??
I have been to Vegas 5 times in my life and every time I'm there-I don't want to ever leave. Ever since my 1st time there, I swore that one day I would live there.
Now that Criss is going to be there for a while, I have more incentive to move to Vegas and hopes of running into him hint-hint Criss,.....if you happen to read this! :-)
