Update from My Sister Anne

Yesterday was a full day (good and bad) for Dad. Here's the summary:

- He fell out of bed and was found on the mat beside his bed. We don't know the time, but Sleepy Hollow called Mom at 5:00am Tuesday morning so we assume in the early morning hours. He was checked out and there are no broken bones or injuries. Dad had a detailed and confused story about why he needed to get out of bed (it involved getting a plane at O'Hare to go to Austin).
- He is no longer in isolation (alleluia!)
- Although the nurse gave me a positive report last weekend about the chest xray and told me there was no pneumonia, another nurse shared with Mom yesterday that the chest xray showed a small amount of fluid in the lungs (the nurse referred to this as congestive heart failure). Dad will be treated with lasiks to deal with the fluid. Mom said it is a small amount and that it can be treated.
