I just talked to mom. Okay - this is the scoop to the best of my understanding.
This morning dad was wiggling his toes for the nurse. Mom and sister Heidi did not get a response when there were there though. Right now Mom and Heidi are in the family room while dad gets a large IV into his neck. The IV has an in and out flow. They are going to begin to take out his blood and put in new plasma with his red blood cells. He will be getting this treatment 5 times a day, everyother day. He will be on this schedule for at least 10 days. They expect to be seeing some positive changes within a couple of days.
They are also starting dad on an antibotic along with steroids. They feel the lung concern is some type of pnemoinia.
Mom sounds good and very hopeful. Again, thanks for checking in on us and for all the encouraging notes.

Hello, This is your OLD Aunt Marilyn still trying to figure out how to post a comment. Seeing as how you relay everything anyway I thought I'd write you to thank you for all the updates, they are very plain to understand, with some humor and very informative. We want to thank you SOOOOO MUCH. I'm not a very good prayer so I play the piano every day for dad and I think the Lord hears all the words of all the songs as my prayer. Tell mom we pray for her too. Love to all Marilyn
Thanks for using the Blog, we keep are keeping Bill & Bea in our thoughts and prayers daily.
