Welcome to the roller coaster ride. Dad had another rough night last night. He is running a fever again and had problems with low blood pressure, so they had to infuse him with a liter of saline solution and they won't be removing excess fluids from his body via dialysis today. He also had problems with poor blood oxygen saturation again, so they turned the FiO2 on his ventilator up to 100%. Hopefully this will be very temporary. This morning I will be attempting to contact Dr. Shelley, the Head of Highland's infectious diseases unit, to get an update on the status of diagnostics and lab tests to determine what is wrong with Dad.
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.
