Ed has a bacterial infection that spread to blood, sputum in lungs, and urinary tract, which isn't a really good thing. It does seem that the doctor at Rose Medical Center did well to start Ed on a wide spectrum antibiotic and then take a look at what the cultures showed in a few days. The doctor switched Ed to different antibiotics based on the cultures, and Ed seems to be responding pretty well. Tbey released him from the hospital this noon, and he seems to resting quite comfortably at Monaco Parkway.
Ed will be on these antibiotics for two weeks, in an effort to make sure that the infection is taken care of. It does seem that Ed never really recovered from the infection that sent him to P/SL at the end of May, so we're hoping that this combination of drugs will do better. He was not as bad off this time, since Monaco Parkway caught it quite early and sent him to the hospital right away.
I'm not sure if visitors will need to have on gown and gloves or not - may not be necessary if you aren't touching Ed. I should be able to find out what the requirements are at Monaco Parkway tomorrow, since the staff should have had a chance by then to evaluate his records from the hospital.
Thanks for all your help and cards and goodies and prayers! Marian

Hi, Marian! Hi, Ed! We had a Boeing picnic at Lake Williams yesterday. It was a gorgeous day. Don Clinton sauteed onions, he and Bob McKitrick cooked up burgers and dogs, and a good time was had by all. There were lots of birds singing in the trees, there was lots of deep green grass, and a few wildflowers. This spring has been gorgeous compared to the springs of the last several years; it seems the drought is over.
Marian, would you mind emailing me the address of the Monaco Parkway facility, so we can come visit and send cards?
