The latest update from the hospital is that Dad's fever spiked fairly high earlier today, but then abruptly subsided. The doctors are looking into the possibility that he has a secondary infection, but they don't know anything for sure at this point. They also believe his blood pressure dropped as a result of the dialysis treatments and they have given him additional fluids intravenously to help raise it again. He is creating more sputum, which they have sent off to culture, but there are still no definitive results from the laboratory tests.
About Me
We are into our 59th year on the South Channel. About 35 years at our present location, where every thing that moves on the South Channel passes our doorstep. The cottage is a work in progress, hand built by us from scratch. Before building on a lot puchased from The Archers, now Craganmor Point, we leased an Archer cottage for about ten years. We spent our earlier years at the family cottage located at the western tip of Seven Mile Bay. We feel very fortunate that we can spend six months of the year living on the channel.
