UPDATE 3:59 PM EST: I forgot mention that ZERO of Dad's cultures from last week grew any bacteria. They have been culturing each area that could be suspect for infection with absolutely zero indication of infection. This is great news!
I just spoke to Dad, and he is very confused and entirely disoriented--he says that Allie joined the staff at the hospital and loves being a nurse (!) He told me he was eating soup, a loaf of bread, ice cream, a glass of milk, tea, jello and cole slaw. I called the nurse to follow-up and confirm that none of this was ingested--none of it was. She did mention that he was OKd for clear fluids--so he will have some tea or water and see how that goes.
The nurse says that Dad is always in a good mood and has a wide smile. He didn't sleep much last night and was hallucinating a lot.
They did take him of clonidine. Now he's on a mixture of two other BP meds.
That's all for now.
